• Coach faces his son Owen,
England captain, in two weeks • ‘I’ve not even thought about it,’ says
Ireland coachThe Farrells practically exude impatience when questions turn to the matter of each other, so Andy Farrell and his son Owen, coach of Ireland and captain of England respectively, had better prepare to have their patience tried over the next fortnight. Ireland travel to Twickenham a week on Sunday in search of the triple crown, following their impressive victory over Wales on Saturday.
“Honestly, I’ve not even thought about it,” said Andy in true Farrell fashion. “You’d think England might have a bounce-back moment against Scotland. I’ll watch that game, I’ll watch ours. I’ll see what we can get better at and I’ll start thinking ahead to England.”
