Farrell: 'To cut a long story short, I actually thought that England deserved to win'

'We've been very good at winning and moving on to the next one. We've got to be really good at losing as well, making sure that we congratulate England tonight.'

Ireland boss Andy Farrell said England deserved their Guinness Six Nations victory in London on Saturday but reminded supporters there was still a championship title to win in Dublin next Saturday.

England produced their best performance of the 2024 campaign so far to upset the pre-match odds and beat the defending champions and hot favourites 23-22 at Twickenham, a Marcus Smith drop goal securing the victory with the last kick of the game after Ireland failed to cling onto a 22-20 lead delivered by James Lowe’s second try of the game on 72 minutes.
