“Again, if we give those lads that you’re talking about a look next week you need to put the right people in place around them so that they’re able to give the best version of themselves - otherwise you set them up to fail," says Farrell, appearing to rule out wholesale changes.

"You've seen the characters throughout training etc and you know they're ready for that type of pressurised occasion.

"I said to the two of them afterwards in the changing room that they came in well prepared because of the form they've shown this season and it's not about one cap is it?

"It's what you do with that one cap and how hungry you are to kick on now to gain on that experience.

"You’re always trying to see who’s coming through because we need to push each other along, we need to find the depth that we all crave.

“It always is. I was speaking to the Argentinian boys after the game and they feel similar, that never stops.
