"What does success look like? We want to win every game and winning matters. I’ve never been one from shying away from that. I’ll say the same. But we’re realists and we know that it’s difficult. I suppose every team in the competition, as we stand today, would love to be in with a shout on the last weekend to be able to go on and win that. "Obviously, there’s a lot of water that gets put under the bridge. You’ve got to roll with the punches especially in the Six Nations because it changes the whole time and that’s why we love it. It’s about getting ourselves to be in with a shout, however that may look on the final weekend. That has to be what we’re aiming for."On the 'Johnny Sexton void', as one reporter put it, Farrell replied, "There will be a void, obviously, but it's their... I've got my first meeting at 4.30 or whatever and after that people start filling it straight away and making sure that they fully understand what we're about. That it's their team and it's not just the coaches trying to tell them what to do. It's their team. "Of course they've got experience of that and they understand what that looks like, but some responsibilities might be a little bit different as in trying to take that gap and going, 'You know what? I'm going to put myself out there whether it be a certain position or the social committee or the leadership committee or whatever'."
