Andy Farrell has insisted that his Ireland team has “only just started” after claiming its first silverware since he became the top man.

Saturday night’s 26-5 defeat of Scotland at the Aviva Stadium earned the home side a first Triple Crown since the Grand Slam campaign of 2018 and took them to the top of the table prior to France’s bid for a clean sweep and title win against England in Paris.
