Room to improve: Farrell targets development as much as points

Silverware may well be up for grabs for Ireland for the first time since 2018, with a Triple Crown on the line and perhaps also a title, if Grand Slam-chasing France falls prey to England in Paris in the final game of the championship tomorrow night.

Ireland head Coach Andy Farrell

Forget the England win and ignore the Triple Crown talk. Ireland have been primed to block out the noise, stick to the process and keep improving when Scotland visit Dublin tomorrow.

Any time an Ireland team wins at Twickenham, the positives will outweigh any negatives in the performance and Andy Farrell said little to disagree with that following last Saturday’s 32-15 bonus-point win.
