ZIM have a rating of 40 currently, we have 21. The difference of 19 should cleared by the end of this year when we beat them 3-0 at home.

Also, once you get Test status, spring a few surprises on on the likes of us, WI, PAK and Deutrom may be able to push for Full Member status. England have already stated that they will make room in their FTP for Ireland. So far, Big 3 has kept all or most of their promises to minnows.

Also make sure you beat ZIM and another Test side in the world cup next year. Ireland have that fighting spirit to do it. One of PAK or IND could easily fall on a seaming surface.

you sound like you are 100% sure
