Ireland women’s head coach Greg McWilliams has heaped praise on his counterpart Andy Farrell for the latter’s open-door policy and voiced his ambition to field a team that plays with the same refreshing intent.

McWilliams’ team will get their TikTok Women’s Six Nations bid underway in Wales on Saturday. A title is not within their compass with the former USA coach admitting that he would take three wins and third place if offered both now.
