"For a man who so readily embraces adversity at every turn, even Andy Farrell will surely be sitting a little less comfortably on his flight from the Six Nations launch in Edinburgh on Monday to join the rest of the Ireland squad in the Algarve."
"A little over 10 days out from Ireland's Six Nations opener against France in Paris, Farrell has a full-scale loosehead prop crisis on his hands, with injury doubts hanging over several other players who were named in last week's 37-man squad."
Andy Farrell will be uneasy traveling from the Six Nations launch in Edinburgh to join the Ireland squad in the Algarve with the tournament opener just over ten days away.
