DUBLIN - Ireland handed Andy Farrell an unconvincing victory in his first game in charge on Saturday as they struggled to put another poor World Cup behind them with a 19-12 win over Scotland on their return to the home comforts of the Six Nations.
New captain Johnny Sexton scored all 19 points in a largely dreary game to begin the Farrell era with a win - but not the kind of performance that will leave their rivals in any way concerned, with far tougher tests ahead. Despite enormous success under previous coach Joe Schmidt that included a stint as the world’s top ranked side, Ireland became too predictable in Japan and there were early signs that they would seek to run the ball a lot more under Farrell.
