Andy Farrell has signed a new contract with the IRFU which sees him stay in charge of the Ireland team until 2027.
Farrell took the reigns over from Joe Schmidt in 2019 and has since led them to a Grand Slam in this year’s Six Nations tournament.
Despite their disappointing World Cup run that saw them finish knocked out in the quarter-finals by New Zealand, the IRFU has offered Farrell a contract which will see him remain in charge until 2027.
“Coaching Ireland has been a hugely enjoyable experience and I am proud to extend my association with the IRFU.” He said via RTE News.
“It is a pleasure to work with such a talented and committed group of players and as we enter a new cycle, it will be exciting to see more players come through the system.”
“It all makes for an exciting next chapter and it is one which my family and I are delighted to continue.”
