Philip Browne, Chief Executive, IRFU said:



"The IRFU shares in the disappointment with the out turn of this year's RBS Six Nations Championship from an Irish perspective and will be undertaking a detailed review of our performance. Our objective in this, as always, will be to ensure the Irish Rugby Team has in place the optimal structures to allow it to perform at the highest international levels into the future."
