Andy Farrell defends Tadhg Furlong's scrum approach

Andy Farrell has dismissed Welsh claims Tadhg Furlong is an illegal scrummager, launching a strong defence of the Ireland tighthead prop.

Wales forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys on Tuesday accused Furlong of boring in from the side during Ireland’s bonus-point Six Nations win over the Welsh in Dublin two weekends ago, saying the Lions prop had “hammered across the scrum” when his front row was penalised for the same thing by referee Romain Poite.
