Andy Farrell 'honoured' with World Rugby Coach of the Year award

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has been named World Rugby Coach of the Year, while Ardie Savea was crowned Men's 15s Player of the Year at the World Rugby Awards in Paris.  And no fewer than five Irish players were selected on the World Rugby Team of the Year, the joint-highest alongside France.  Farrell, who guided Ireland to their fourth ever Grand Slam earlier this year, took home the award ahead of fellow nominees Jacques Nienaber, Ian Foster and Fiji's Simon Raiwalui.  The Englishman presided over a remarkable 17-game winning streak which commenced during the summer test series victory in New Zealand last year but ended in gut-wrenching fashion in this month's World Cup quarter-final against the same opposition.

No fewer than five Irish players were included in the 2023 team of the year, with Dan Sheehan, Tadhg Furlong, Caelan Doris and the centre due of Aki and Garry Ringrose all selected.

5 Irish, 5 French, 4 NZ and 1 South African made up the "2023 Men's 15s Dream Team of the Year"

QF loss apart, not a bad year for Irish rugby.  And one English man
