Andy Farrell will not be judged on his performance as Ireland head coach until the end of the 2021 Guinness Six Nations, David Nucifora said, despite a disappointing first year at the helm in terms of results.

The IRFU performance director was speaking the day after another experimental Ireland side limped over the line against Autumn Nations Cup minnows Georgia in Dublin, the 23-10 victory coming despite a second-half performance described by a frustrated Farrell as “not good enough”.
