Andy Farrell has signed a two-year contract extension to stay as Ireland head coach until 2025.
Irish chiefs have moved to tie down Farrell beyond the 2023 World Cup, with the former dual-code international’s stock having shot up after the summer’s historic Test series win in New Zealand.
English supremo Bill Sweeney only last week admitted Farrell remains “very highly regarded” at the RFU with the search underway for Eddie Jones’ successor.
