Andy Farrell says he instructed Johnny Sexton to lift Ireland's Grand Slam trophy on his own despite the legendary out-half wanting to share the moment with a teammate.
Ireland's 29-16 win over England on Saturday saw Ireland clinch their fourth-ever Slam, and their first in front of a home crowd at a raucous Aviva Stadium.
It was the perfect swansong for Sexton who broke the Six Nations overall points record in what was his final game in the competition.
