Andy Farrell has urged his players to show the best version of themselves and deliver three victories from Ireland’s remaining games in the 2021 Guinness Six Nations.

Sunday’s 15-13 home defeat to France followed a first-round 21-16 loss to Wales in Cardiff seven days earlier, the worst start to a championship campaign in Six Nations history, and since the 1998 Five Nations.
