Irish coach says Johnny Sexton is the best player to play for Ireland
Farrell, whose son Owen captained the England team, said he was delighted for the group to have finished off the international rugby season with the win, which came after Ireland’s first successful series in New Zealand and a strong November international series.
“Look at the year we have had. To finish it off like that is so deserving in so many ways,” said Farrell. “Garry Ringrose getting his 50th last week ... he couldn’t receive his 50th cap, so we’ve just given it to him now in the changing room and Josh van der Flier, it’s his 50th as well and wow what a season he has had, what a fitting moment it is to get his 50th cap on such an occasion as that.
Keenan was going low for a ball as Steward approached. In the end the 20-year-old made no attempt to effect a tackle but hit Keenan with his shoulder and hip resulting in a first-half departure for one of Ireland’s better players.
