Andy Farrell revealed he had told Ireland’s hat-trick hero Mack Hansen he had better play well against Australia because of his odd-coloured boots.

Hansen, selected at full-back at Test level for the first time on his 29th Ireland appearance, scored the first three tries inside 29 minutes at Aviva Stadium on Saturday night as the Wallabies were consigned to a record defeat against their rivals, a six-try, 46-19 loss in the Dublin rain.
