[QUOTE="KAPman, post: 630703, member: 64445"] I don't think Ireland will be hugely depleted by O'Driscoll not being in the team anymore, obviously that aura they have as being a team with such a legend in it will be gone, but they've got plenty of talent in their squad to remain a force in world rugby, n to be competing at the top of the tree in the 6 nations, the main thought they have is who is going to replace o'driscoll? I think Luke Marshall will soon oust Darcy in the 12 shirt, but at 13 Schmits got some thinking to do. It's certainly an opportunity for likes of McFadden, Cave, Henshaw, even Tommy Bowe could come back into the squad and play there. It's a chance for them to stake a claim and make that jersey theirs for the next world cup. Will see what happens between now and then, and if Ireland can kick on from this years 6 nations success and keep progressing. There's a part of me thinks they'll slip up a bit at next years 6 nations, but at the world cup I wouldn't count them out. They can certainly beat France in their pool match there. [/QUOTE]
