Well I'll agree - it's definitely a possibility and not just a wild fantasy. If Ireland get to the final they've got as good a chance as any of the other top teams against New Zealand. All Blacks will always be favourites, but Ireland are capable of beating anyone.
Of course, dream scenario for me would be Wales in the same situation - especially as it would most likely require us beating Australia who we have struggled against with so many near misses for so long. Getting out of the pool would be enough to make me happy but yeah, that's the dream scenario as I'm sure it is for everyone else!
And just for fun...the silly scenario - Wales v France in the final. First lineout, Warburton tackles the entire French team at once and kicks Romain Poite between the posts for the winning conversion. I daresay that would make up for the tip tackle last time out!
