Ireland 'determined to get back on the horse' despite Paris disappointment

Ireland coach Andy Farrell 

Andy Farrell admitted France had taken pole position in the race for the 2022 Guinness Six Nations title but said Ireland would stay in the fight to the bitter end.

Les Bleus are the last team standing in terms of being able to complete a Grand Slam after beating fellow first-round victors Ireland 30-24 at Stade de France on Saturday, with Scotland losing in Wales a week after beating England. It means France have shortened the odds on claiming a first title since 2010 but the Ireland boss insisted there was everything to play for with three rounds remaining.
