CAPTAIN Owen Farrell thinks there is still more to come from England.

Farrell said: “We know what we’re capable of. Obviously we’ve played in two games where one, we probably didn’t show the best of ourselves, and second was pretty bad conditions, so we couldn’t wait to get out here today - especially against a proper opponent like Ireland.

“We’re unbelievably happy with how it’s going in house. We feel like we’re pushing forward.

“We feel like we’re getting better and we couldn’t wait to play today. I think you saw that from the way we started the game.

“That’s nothing to do with outside pressure.

“That’s to do with us and how we’re preparing. We’re giving ourselves lots of confidence to rip it come kick off. we’ll make sure we enjoy this win.

“This is a big result for us and it’s brilliant to be back at home playing in front of this crowd.

“We’ll celebrate this and then get on to the next opportunity. It’s exciting times.

“We’re just over halfway through now and we’re in a good place, we’re still building.”
