Andy Farrell praised Ireland’s ability to overcome disruption as he watched them open their Guinness Six Nations campaign with a first championship win in Wales for a decade.

The Irish had not won at Principality Stadium since 2013 but that streak of four straight Six Nations defeats came to an emphatic end on Saturday as tries from Caelan Doris, James Ryan, James Lowe and Josh van der Flier delivered a 34-10 bonus-point victory in the Welsh capital.
