English rugby chief Bill Sweeney says Ireland head-coach Andy Farrell is 'highly regarded’ by the RFU.
The former England dual-code international is reportedly one of the potential candidates to succeed Eddie Jones after next year's World Cup.
Farrell is under contract with Ireland until the end of the tournament in France and Sweeney says both Farrell and Mike Catt are 'doing very well' in their current roles.
