The Ireland boss has plenty of points to ponder whenever he gets back to work.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Paris AS IRELAND BOARDED their flight back to Dublin yesterday, Jack Conan couldn’t resist having a bit of fun at Johnny Sexton’s expense.
Ireland fans will have to wait just over 15 weeks until their team is back in action on the pitch, with their next fixture a visit to Marseille to take on France on the opening weekend of the 2024 Six Nations. Farrell’s men will be out to defend their Grand Slam. It’s unclear exactly when Farrell would step back from his Ireland role – likely after the summer tour next year – but Simon Easterby would be favoured to temporarily be promoted to the head coach spot, which he filled for the Emerging Ireland tour last year.
Crowley does seem to share Sexton’s inherent desire to be the main man, his confident temperament, his physical combativeness, and his head for pressure moments. He’s a different player in some ways, with excellent footwork among his skillset.
