Ireland and France the two teams to beat Underwood reckons Ireland are one of two teams most likely to be crowned Rugby World Cup champions on October 28, with host nation France the other. Andy Farrell’s coaching key to six week World Cup grind Underwood believes Andy Farrell is the perfect coach to have at the helm as Ireland look to win a knockout game at the World Cup for the first time ever.“They've always been a very good side, but they've just never managed to put it together for the four/five/six weeks of a tournament. I think that's changed.
“With the years and years of experience of Munster and Leinster and Ulster having played European rugby. I think this side is much more prepared for a World Cup campaign.”
