irish rugby new season

This Saturday irish rugby will welcome the springboks to their new stadium in dublin .A new era will commence and a new challenge awaits the irish team . At present the irish squad is suffering from some early season injury, to some key members of the squad.So if the springboks do pull off a win on saturday it will be because of ireland fielding a depleted side rather than the talents of a over rated team like south africa.My view is that ireland need too bring some freshness to the squad if they our two be able to challenge for honors at the upcoming world cup .After the shambles at the last world cup it is importune that ireland go to newzeland with every intent on winning the webb ellis trophy .To do this  i feel irish coach Delcan kidney should have used this winter to prepare fresh blood for the challenge ahead. i still feel that for irish rugby too make its mark they have to clinch a world cup before the decline of this current squad .several players our expected too retire after this world cup and each player has at some point added to the powerhouse that is irish rugby.Yet we must look at some key factors if ireland our too stake a claim at this world cup in 2011 .they have too learn to beat the tri-nations away from home . they must adapt back too the running game and have too use some fresh  legs in the scrum starting this winter so as too prepare for the world cup .A lot of talk by certain media especially in dublin our proclaiming that munster in my view the strongest province our past their prime and i tend to disagree munster is at present the back bone of irish rugby and will continue too carry that mantle for years too come .What we all fail too see irish coaching staff included is that right now ireland needs fresh legs and the main stage in dublin on saturday is where we should have displayed the future of irish rugby .pride comes before the fall irish rugby needs not too concentrate on results but on giving the stars of tomorrow experience against the like of the touring world champions
