A barnstorming victory over Scotland and a Six Nations Triple Crown present the perfect bargaining chips for Andy Farrell as he begins talks with the IRFU around extending his stay as Ireland head coach beyond the 2027 World Cup.

Ireland signed off on their 2026 championship in style with a 43-21 win at Aviva Stadium on Saturday to remind the rugby world that in Farrell they have probably the best head coach in Test rugby having delivered silverware with a new-look team in the absence of several frontline players.
