Andy Farrell’s Ireland secured a resounding bonus-point win over France (Andrew Matthews/PA)“There are no hangovers with us,” said head coach Farrell. “There’s a realisation of where we’re at and where we need to go to next and what we need to learn and that’s it. “Hangovers are for tomorrow; we’re three months down the line – that’s a big hangover, if you can’t get over it in that time. Despite Ireland registering their biggest victory away to France, new captain Peter O’Mahony, who succeeded Johnny Sexton following the World Cup, believes there is significant room for improvement moving towards a round-two clash with Italy. We’ve plenty to work on but there were parts of the game that felt like a good performance.”
