Graham Rowntree, who was Georgia forwards coach at the World Cup in Japan last year, says the Irish pack will be presented with a stern test at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday.

But the Munster forwards coach, an assistant in each of the last three Lions tours, believes Ireland will get an edge up front against Georgia if they can get the tempo of the game sufficiently high.
