Warren Gatland believes Ireland won’t deviate from ‘limited’ winning game plan

Wales boss Warren Gatland doesn’t see Ireland deviating far from the gameplan that has brought Six Nations success under Joe Schmidt.

Gatland has previously suggested that Ireland’s style under Schmidt lacked inspiration.

The Kiwi now insists he fully understands exactly why Schmidt and Ireland would be loath to expand their style — especially after winning the tournament twice in succession.
