Andy Farrell maintained his Ireland side remained a work in progress after an encouraging 31-16 Autumn Nations Cup victory over Scotland in Dublin on Saturday.

Ireland’s win in this third-place play-off brought down the curtain on Farrell’s first 12 months as head coach and ensured his team ended 2020 on a high after a sometimes difficult year since succeeding Joe Schmidt.
