What did Andy Farrell enjoy most? 'Trusting ourselves to play how we intended to play'

Irish head coach savours first win over All Blacks as numero uno

LOWE ON A HIGH: James Lowe celebrates a crucial late turnover during Saturday's win over New Zealand. 

Andy Farrell praised his Ireland players’ ability to be themselves against the best side in the world as he savoured an epic 29-20 win over New Zealand on Saturday night.

The Ireland head coach had tasted a Test victory over the All Blacks as a defence coach with England, Ireland and the British & Irish Lions, but was celebrating his first win over the three-time world champions as the boss, thanks to tries at a raucous, sold-out Aviva Stadium, from James Lowe, Ronan Kelleher and man of the match Caelan Doris.
