Ireland coach Andy Farrell sticks the knife into squad after shock Scotland defeat
ANDY FARRELL has accused Ireland of falling out of love with defence after they leaked three tries to Scotland in their opening defeat.
Ireland defence coach Andy Farrell has slated his side after their defeat to Scotland
Ireland have conceded an average of just one per match over the last four seasons in the championship and their porousness in Murrayfield concerned Farrell ahead of this weekend’s game in Italy.
“Every single time we get an opportunity to defend, we should love it, and we didn’t,” said the Ireland defence coach.
The 24-year-old was taken off early in the second half at Murrayfield after a collision with Robbie Henshaw.
He returned after a head injury assessment and has since passed a final assessment to clear him to train this week.
