Read our privacy policy Prop Andrew Porter insists every member of Andy Farrell’s 33-man squad believes Ireland can win the World Cup. Porter believes Ireland’s current crop of players have no qualms about previous failures or the quarter-final “curse”. “I don’t think this squad does,” said the 27-year-old, who was part of the team eliminated 46-14 by New Zealand at the 2019 World Cup in Japan. “I don’t think there is really any hang-ups about whatever you call it, ‘the curse’.” Ireland face a major challenge to snap their unwanted World Cup record as they are likely to face a quarter-final clash with formidable hosts France or the All Blacks.
