    • Farrell: ‘We trained well but didn’t manage the game’

    Hardly any great surprise that the Ireland changing room had all the gaiety of a grave digger’s after a Test where they were well beaten. Andy Farrell reckoned the silence and downcast mood was the best summation of a game that was nowhere near as close as expected.
