Warren Gatland backed Ireland to make Guinness Six Nations history and claim back-to-back Grand Slams following his Wales side’s 31-7 defeat in Dublin on Saturday.

The Wales boss felt the final scoreline at Aviva Stadium did not do his young team justice but Ireland racked up a third successive bonus-point victory and now face England at Twickenham next on March 9 before a final-round home clash with Scotland seven days later.
