"Delighted to get the win, obviously," Andy Farrell. "It matters to us, when we play at the Aviva especially... particularly nice to get the win for the three lads making their debut, so they can look back on tonight knowing we got the win.""It was a bit clunky," he admitted, bemoaning a slow start to the second half. Farrell was asked about injuries to three of the Ireland players, which would have worried some fans. [caption id="attachment_291210" align="aligncenter" width="1280"]

"They seem not too bad," he said. "Jimmy's shoulder has shut down a bit... it's an old issue. "Jack lost power in his foot, but seems okay. Craig's back tightened up, which affected his hamstring."Ireland next play England at Lansdowne Road, on August 19, and a much-changed starting XV is expected. England were defeated 20-9 by Wales, in Cardiff, earlier in the day. Related Articles:
