Andy Farrell insisted he was over Ireland’s World Cup quarter-final exit and was determined to get his team “back on the horse” for the Guinness Six Nations opener against France in Marseille on Friday week.

The Ireland head coach was speaking at the Guinness Storehouse on Monday as the championship sponsors played host to the competition’s annual media day before heading to the IRFU High Performance Centre to meet with his squad.
