The reigning champions registered a thumping 36-0 bonus-point win to back up last week’s statement success away to pre-tournament favourites France. Winless Wales visit Dublin on February 24 before Ireland finish their campaign with March appointments against England and Scotland. Head coach Farrell feels his team have made a “decent start” to the championship as they seek to make history by claiming back-to-back Grand Slams. “Obviously delighted with two from two and maximum points, 36-0 is a nice scoreline for us,” he said. “Hugo’s got a bang on his knee so I don’t know,” said Farrell.
