Ireland take on South Africa in Paris this Saturday at the Rugby World Cup
From modest semi-final ambitions to Rugby World Cup glory, Stephen Ferris says Ireland's targets have scaled new heights over the past four years.
Now ranked number one in the world, Andy Farrell's men have ditched the 'hopefuls' tag as they look to rewrite the history books in France.The early signs have been promising with romps over Romania and Tonga, but the level of opposition - and pressure - is starting to ramp up.
"But not anymore. That isn't even entering these players' heads. It is win at all costs and not give two hoots about a semi-final. He added: "This Saturday is a huge game, and Ireland are in the right place physically and mentally to win it. If South Africa bring their absolute A-game, and their ferocious approach, it might tell in the last 20 minutes of the match.
