Andy Farrell vows his side will take 'invaluable experience' from tough day in London

Andy Farrell believes his young side will be better for the experience of their 18-7 Autumn Nations Cup defeat to England at Twickenham on Saturday.

The head coach watched an experimental side with an inexperienced half-back pairing of Jamison Gibson-Park and Ross Byrne fail to break down a stubborn English defence after conceding two first-half tries from wing Jonny May. Ireland also paid the price for a misfiring lineout that failed to capitalise on the try-scoring opportunities that were created.
