That was almost another era of rugby and is the only northern hemisphere triumph in the nine World Cups played so far.“We have been open and honest about our ambitions,” said Ireland captain Jonathan Sexton, whose team has a righteous claim to being No. 1 in the world after a run of 13 wins dating to an historic series success in New Zealand in July 2022 — the resul...
