Andy Farrell: Let’s take Six Nations to the last week

Andy Farrell: Accepts France and England set the standard in the Six Nations.

The goals remain the same for Andy Farrell ahead of his second Guinness Six Nations campaign as Ireland head coach, and so do the teams to chase.

His debut championship on succeeding Joe Schmidt saw Ireland in with a chance of the title heading into the final round, played in Paris on October 31 thanks to the Covid-19 lockdown. It ended, though, with defeat and third place behind France and eventual champions England.
