Irish head coach and captain react to slow start and scrappy performance

“We have been pretty good of late starting well and our start obviously wasn’t the best. You fast forward to the last play of the game, us kicking the ball out against 14 men with the scrum ready to play when the game is already won probably sums the game up.”

“But for us, as far as the performance is concerned, pretty underwhelming. I suppose when you look back and you analyse a performance like that, you’ll get plenty of learnings out of it. To add to the debit column, the hamstring issue which ruled Robbie Henshaw out of last week’s win against South Africa resurfaced inside the first five minutes, which must make him extremely doubtful for next week’s Nations Series finale against an admittedly much-changed Australian side who surprisingly lost to Italy for the first time ever in 11 meetings.

“How things flow from Monday morning is going to be interesting for us all this week,” said Farrell wryly.
