Rugby: Gatland tips provinces for ‘Heineken’ celebration

FORMER national coach Warren Gatland has given a vote of confidence to Ireland’s Heineken Cup contenders.

The London Wasps’ boss believes that Munster and Leinster will avenge last week’s defeats to Gloucester and Sale while he expects Ulster to repeat their heroic performance against Leicester at Welford Road.

But he claims that Gloucester’s victory over Munster was not a surprise, unlike the manner of the visitors' capitulation.
