Warren Gatland has revealed he used to try to rattle new Australian coach Joe Schmidt when he was in charge of Ireland.

The two Kiwis will resume their coaching rivalry in Sydney on Saturday with Gatland trying to end a run of seven straight defeats with Wales and Schmidt hoping to open his Wallaby account with a much-needed win.
