In a coup for the ages, Andy Farrell has joined up with Joe Schmidt's Ireland set-up.
The former England defence coach takes up the same position with Ireland after this year's Six Nations and is a move that nobody could have predicted.
Farrell, father of England out-half Owen Farrell, was a member of Stuart Lancaster's coaching team before being relieved of his duties in December by Eddie Jones.
The overriding emotion online after the announcement was a mixture of shock, optimism and disbelief!
