Head coach Andy Farrell says he will discuss his future with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) after Ireland's Triple Crown Six Nations campaign. Speculation about his departure, fueled by reports Saracens offered him a role post-2027 World Cup, intensified during the tournament. After a 43-21 win over Scotland, Farrell confirmed talks with the IRFU are imminent. 'We've already spoken about having a conversation.

That won't be too far away,' he stated, adding he'd 'sometimes rather watch Ireland from the bar' than his coaching box. Farrell emphasized his staff's quality and his love for the role, though he acknowledged the need to 'talk about all sorts of stuff'.
