Andy Farrell: Ireland braced for ‘tough old task’ when Six Nations resumes

Andy Farrell, who suffered the first defeat of his reign at Twickenham back on February 23, admits his side face an uphill task but wants to be left with no regrets.

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell insists the Guinness Six Nations title remains “there to be won” and has urged his players to be fearless in pursuit of glory.

Ireland were left to stew on a chastening 24-12 defeat to England during lockdown after the coronavirus pandemic forced the postponement of matches against Italy and France.
