Simon Easterby believes Ireland will bounce back from a tough day in Dublin.
IRELAND ’S REIGN AS Six Nations is over barring a shock in Paris on Saturday night when a win for France over Scotland will secure the title for les Bleus.
The likes of captain Caelan Doris, Hugo Keenan, Dan Sheehan, Mack Hansen, James Lowe, and Jamison Gibson-Park have become key players in recent years, while experienced campaigners like Tadhg Beirne, James Ryan, Bundee Aki, and Josh van der Flier continue to perform. The depth chart at loosehead behind Healy and Andrew Porter has long been an area of concern for Ireland and now the challenge of replacing the veteran is truly upon them.

They’ll be disappointed with what’s gone on today but they will want to finish strong.”Easterby agreed that France were “really good” in Dublin but his frustration was that Ireland made les Bleus’ lives easier.“So I think they were good, but also we probably offered them opportunity to be a little bit better than maybe we would have liked.
