However, were Scotland to win their first Triple Crown since 1990 any Six Nations trophy presentation would have to be deferred until after the ensuing France-England game given Steve Borthwick’s side could still then overtake Ireland.French confident Antoine Frisch will see his future lies with Les BleusA compulsory but perfunctory presentation in an empty stadium hours after the full-time whistle? There would be little fun in that.

Whereas Calvin Nash was replaced at Twickenham without undergoing an HIA and has since completed all his return-to-play protocols, Ciaran Frawley is undergoing a 12-day turnaround and is back with Leinster after also being replaced at Twickenham following a head injury. “No, I’m not worried,” said Farrell when asked if any areas of Ireland’s performance worried him. “In fact, I’d be super confident in the way we’ve reviewed the game, analysed it and got down to the bare bones of the reasons why and how it all accumulated to England having a deserved win by a point in the end. I thought we was a bit off as far as committing to absolutely everything we was going to do. I suppose that’s across the whole of the game.
