Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton will be targeted, warns Warren Gatland

Ireland half-backs Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton have been warned they’re in Welsh crosshairs for Saturday’s pivotal Six Nations clash at Lansdowne Road.

It might be easier said than done, given their continued prolific form for Ireland and the Warren Gatland-coached British and Irish Lions in New Zealand last summer.

But Wales boss Gatland, who this week becomes only the second coach after New Zealand World Cup winner Graham Henry to clock up 100 Tests for one country, knows that keeping them quiet will be key to victory hopes in Dublin.
