Andy Farrell has revealed his constant desire to embrace adversity traces back to his Wigan Warriors days - and a delayed trip across the Pennines.
In contrast to Joe Schmidt, his predecessor as Ireland boss, Farrell has welcomed chaos in the form of last minute injury withdrawals or buses arriving late to match venues, as was the case in Cardiff before this year's Six Nations opener.
The last time Schmidt brought Ireland to Murrayfield in the championship was in 2017 and the Kiwi was unhappy that Ireland's team bus was delayed by 15 minutes as the Scottish police escort took a roundabout route to the stadium and Ireland lost 27-22.
