Gatland: my grenades worked a treat

WARREN GATLAND reckons the grenades he has thrown across the Irish Sea this week have worked a treat after claiming his war of words has had the desired effect.

Wales coach Gatland had fanned the flames ahead of today’s Six Nations decider in Cardiff when he revealed his players ‘disliked’ the Irish.

But on the eve of the heavyweight clash in Cardiff, Gatland insisted his taunting tactics towards his former employers were justified with the spotlight taken firmly away from his defending champions.
