Andy Farrell will do what he has done throughout his time as Ireland head coach when his squad reconvenes this evening, acknowledge the most recent performance and move on to the next task.

It does not matter whether it is a World Cup quarter-final exit to New Zealand or a stunning Guinness Six Nations opening-round victory in France, the World Rugby Coach of the Year is always looking ahead to the next game and the next training session ahead of it.
