Easterby in 'really good space' as Irish coach - Humphreys

Irish Rugby Football Union performance director David Humphreys says Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby knows the "key ingredients of delivering success" ahead of the Six Nations.

Easterby has moved up to the role in the absence of Andy Farrell, who has temporarily stepped aside to focus on leading the British and Irish Lions' tour to Australia this summer

Humphreys added that one of the IRFU's challenges is to get Ireland's four provincial sides back to the "top end of Europe".
