Andy Farrell is confident his coaching team will keep the Ireland show on the road while he concentrates on the British and Irish Lions next year. 

Farrell takes charge of the Lions for the first time when they visit Australia in 2025 having been a part of Warren Gatland's management team in 2013 and 2017.
