"Andy Farrell will avoid squad overhaul and trust his current troops to kickstart a stuttering season"
"Andy Farrell bore the hallmarks of a worried man as he watched his team huff and puff against Japan. At one stage he removed his spectacles as if to say it was all too much for him to see their limitations in 20:20."
"After the game, he dismissed the idea that he's concerned, admitting weakness is not in his nature, but the problems are mounting in front of his eyes and this 41-10 win over Japan did little to suggest they're being solved."
Andy Farrell intends to avoid a squad overhaul and will rely on existing players to try to revive a faltering season. He appeared visibly worried while watching his team struggle against Japan and removed his spectacles during the match, signalling frustration at their limitations. He denied that he is concerned and said weakness is not in his nature. Problems are accumulating despite a 41-10 victory over Japan, and that scoreline offered little evidence that underlying issues have been resolved. Farrell faces pressure to find solutions while maintaining continuity in selection.
