Why are we only team who don't build for world cups
This is a rant so do apologise but its a every world cup cycle thing. It seems to be with every irish coach between world cups they have this mentality that they can't lose one game ever that irish people will lose their minds or something.
Every other big team bleeds so many players upwards of using 50 or 60 players over the 4 years between. France going to new Zealand with a second string squad last year and look at the benefit that had for them.
South Africa go through a lorry load of players a year it seems.
I totally understand people will say well who do you bring in but there are so many players you could bring in and bleed yes the provinces bar leinster have been shite but the individual players aren't and every one knows that.
It seems again for the 5th world cup in a row now we are coming in with an aging side with very little experience outside of them and they haven't played well for well over a year if you ask me.
Between the age, lack of sharpness and in reality the mental fatigue leinster have from losing the big games every year its so clearly evident on the squad.
Sure we scrape wins but firts important game we get turned over and with the number of genuinely amazing players we have in the country its fucking infuriating to watch the shite we have been throwing up the last year or 2.
Something has to change eventually but it won't with how the mentality of irish rugby is right now sadly
