[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1179721, member: 45598"] Yeah agreed. I think we need about 15 new guys to come in in the current cycle to build a squad (8 years in America is probably the earliest we’ll have a chance to be as good as we were last year in a WC realistically). 3 of those are arguably already done, Nash, Crowley and Big Joe all have a full 6n under their belts as starters and will be in all Irish squads at minimum for the foreseeable. There’s a few near guarantees to be top class internationals in the provinces too in Ahern, Osbourne and Prendergast. And then a lot of 20s talent. 3 and 9 are huge concerns though. Think we could be going to Australia with guys in their mid 30s there. [/QUOTE]
