Andy Farrell acknowledges that Ireland's loss to France 'has to stand' in terms of lessons learned, but also expects his team to bounce back strongly against Italy next weekend.

Farrell acknowledged that Ireland's struggles against top-tier teams have become a recurring theme, but emphasized that his team can't afford to dwell on past defeats. He expects Italy to be a tougher opponent than France, citing the Italian team's improved form in recent months.
Despite the significant defeat, Farrell remains optimistic about his team's prospects for the rest of the tournament. He has called for his team to 'stop the rot' and respond to the lessons learned from the France game. With nine days to prepare before facing Italy, Ireland will look to get back on track against their Italian opponents.
Farrell has already begun to make changes in response to the France game, with several players missing due to injury. However, he is keenly aware that his team's success will depend on its ability to respond to criticism and bounce back from setbacks.

. But you've gotta give credit to Andy Farrell, he's already making changes and calling out his players for their mistakes 
. The thing is, though, Ireland's still got some work to do if they wanna make a deep run in the tournament 
. Italy might not be as strong as France, but they're definitely no pushovers either 
. I'm gonna keep an eye on this one, can't wait to see how Andy's team responds 
.
. Still, I believe they can bounce back strong and start building momentum for the rest of the tournament 
, always struggling against top-tier teams and now Italy is coming up again 
but I think they will 
. The problem is, they can't just focus on one game, they gotta be ready for the rest of the tournament too 
. And let's be real, Italy is a tough opponent 
. But hey, Farrell seems confident so we'll see what happens 
.
, I know they'll learn from their mistakes & come back stronger against Italy 
next wkend. Andy Farrell's right, dwelling on past defeats won't help them bounce back 
. 9 days to prep is plenty of time to make those changes & get back on track 
what happened to Ireland's defense? I mean, you can't just get outscored by 22 points and not learn anything from it 
. Italy might be a tough opponent, but if Ireland doesn't pick up the slack, they're gonna get creamed again 
. The only thing that's keeping me from losing hope is Andy Farrell's attitude - he's always been one to bounce back strong 
meanwhile, i'm over here thinking that if you can't even beat a mid-table team like france, what makes you think you can take on italy? 
sources please? 
. Andy Farrell seems like a smart coach who knows how to bounce back from setbacks 
.
! The loss to France was pretty brutal, and I think they gotta take it serious 
. Farrell's right that they can't dwell on past defeats, but it's hard not to when you get pummelled like that 
. They've gotta stop the rot and start building momentum for the rest of the tournament 
, you know like Luke Skywalker trying to resist the dark side 
. They need to focus on the lessons learned from that game and apply them to the Italy match. It's not about beating France all the time, it's about being a better team overall 
️
so we'll see how this all goes down...
I feel like Ireland's coaches are always saying 'we gotta learn from our mistakes'... when do we get to see some real progress? 
! I mean, 22 point loss? That's not okay. But you know what? I think Andy Farrell's right to say that his team can't dwell on past defeats. They gotta bounce back and show everyone what they're capable of 
. They gotta make some serious changes ASAP or else they'll get left behind in the tournament
