Go to commentsNigel as good as your team is at the moment they have nothing to show for it, maybe a six nations title or two. Until you win the World Cup Ireland will not have the respect the Boks & AB have in the rugby fertility bearing in mind the Boks played two less World Cups and won two away from home making them the best World Cup contenders of all time. Sorry pel until Ireland holds that cup above their heads they will be known going through a purple patch as they call it in golf, a good side at the time nothing more nothing less.
