Andy Farrell Says IRFU Talks on Ireland Future Are 'Not Far Away'

The head coach, contracted through next year's World Cup, has downplayed reports linking him to Saracens.

Overview

  • Farrell confirmed he and the IRFU have agreed to speak soon about his long‑term role.
  • He remains signed to lead Ireland through the Rugby World Cup in Australia next year.
  • He dismissed speculation of a Saracens move as "people putting two and two together and making five."
  • Ireland closed the championship with a 43-21 win over Scotland to claim the Triple Crown, but France retained the title by beating England 48-46 with a last-minute penalty.
  • Planning turns to July's Nations Championship against Australia, Japan and New Zealand, with 35 players used in the Six Nations and selection battles encouraged.
