Farrell cools talk of next Grand Slam despite 'feel-good factor' for IrelandEd Elliot, PAAndy Farrell believes talk of leading Ireland to successive Grand Slam titles is premature as he attempts to build on the “feel-good factor” created by a resounding Guinness Six Nations victory over France. Reigning champions Ireland made a statement of intent in Friday evening’s curtain-raiser in Marseille with a stunning 38-17 bonus-point success over the pre-tournament favourites. “In reality it’s one win, it’s one win out of one and we’ve got to be on to the next one. “There’s always the balance about opportunity but also doing what’s right for the team and the cohesion of the team going forward. We’ve only had one game together, so we’ll see how we shape up on Monday.”
