Its the 4 year Irish Rugby cycle. We’re too far from the start of this one, but if you were to rewind 4 years, you’d remember how everyone felt going into the last WC.
IT WAS THE EXACT SAME.
The optimism was through the roof. There was no way we could fail to get to a semi final at least.
Every other teams form was shite.
We had the best manager.
Best preparation.
Best fans.
Best logistics.
Best outhalf (if a little injury prone and possibly undercooked)
Best lock.
Backrows coming out our arseholes (heh).
Fuck it we even had the best kit man.
It was identical, as it always has been. Irish Rugby is premium hype.
Lets see how it plays out this time Cotton.
