Good side is nowhere near its potential, coach Andy Farrell says

Ireland were far from their confident and controlled best in the 29-16 victory over England but found a way as they have been doing with increasing ease in a run of 10 consecutive wins and 22 in their last 24 games. “Everyone’s going to get better in the summer and we get to spend a lot more time together so we expect our side when we get to the first game of the World Cup to be a lot better than what we are now.”
Sexton has previously praised Farrell’s approach of openly talking about building towards the 2023 tournament in France and said that like last July’s first series victory in New Zealand, the Grand Slam is another “very special” part of that journey.
