• Farrell: ‘We trained well but didn’t manage the game’

Hardly any great surprise that the Ireland changing room had all the gaiety of a grave digger’s after a Test where they were well beaten. Andy Farrell reckoned the silence and downcast mood was the best summation of a game that was nowhere near as close as expected.

“I thought we prepped well and trained well and were excited about the game but we didn’t manage it the way we wanted, obviously, and the opposition had a big say in that,” Farrell said.
