Andy Farrell reckons it's only the beginning as Ireland secure Triple Crown

Andy Farrell insists Ireland have only just begun after claiming the first trophy of his reign in front of a celebrating Aviva Stadium crowd.

Farrell, who succeeded Joe Schmidt after a dispiriting World Cup for Ireland, has gradually moulded the team to his liking and his reward is a first Triple Crown for the men in green since 2018 after four wins from five in the Six Nations championship.

A Six Nations title could yet be added to the IRFU trophy room tonight - England have to beat or draw with France for that to happen - but the 46-year-old has his squad in a good place as he begins to plan for the three-Test tour of New Zealand in July, which will be Ireland's next Test outings.
