There you have it. Not sure if there's a discussion on this already, if so feel free to bin this. Several problems with this, not least - would UEFA give automatic qualification to three countries? Also, many of the most up to date grounds in the country, including Thomond Park, wouldn't meet the criteria. Do we have the infrastructure, hotel beds etc... Not impossible but improbable.
