Farrell will have conversation over Ireland future after Six Nations

Andy Farrell reiterated his love for coaching Ireland and says he will have a conversation with the Irish Rugby Football Union after the conclusion of the Six Nations.

Ireland clinched the Triple Crown at this year's championship thanks to a resounding 43-21 win over Scotland to close their campaign.

They came close to winning the Six Nations title as well, but they were pipped to the trophy by France, who snatched a dramatic 48-46 win over England.

Despite a successful tournament, speculation has risen over Farrell's future.

Saracens released a statement distancing themselves from "disrespectful" reports they had offered the 50-year-old a coaching role for after his contract ends following the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

But Farrell made it clear he was not planning on going anywhere in the near future.

"We've already spoken about having a conversation. That won't be too far away. So, we'll see how that goes," said Farrell.

"Nobody wants to give those away [days like Saturday]. I'd like to watch it, though, sometimes. Walking down from the Shelbourne and doing a bit of a pub crawl, it sounds nice to me!

"The staff that we've got is second to none. Great people. Great at their jobs. As a coaching staff, I think we're getting better.

"We're learning about each other more. We're getting more cohesive and getting better as well. It's not just the players.

"You know that I love this. There's all sorts of stuff that needs to be talked about. I've no doubt."
