“Under the Joe show and the attitude everyone has, I’d have no qualms in saying we’re going into it to win it.
“There’s nothing else on our [minds]. We’ve gone from strength to strength. Every player loves being there, the environment is amazing. This Six Nations – from being on the outside and then inside - made me realise how much everyone loves that and thrives on it.”

Ireland will compete in Pool D at the World Cup alongside Canada, Romania, Italy and France from 19 September. With two Six Nations titles under his belt in two years, confidence is certainly high with Healy and his team-mates under the coaching staff of Schmidt, Les Kiss, Greg Feek, Simon Easterby and Richie Murphy.
“We have a team like that, with that attitude, under the guidance of Joe, Kissy, Feeky and Simon and them you’re going in the right direction. No one goes in to a competition to lose it.”
