    Back in 2009, Wales coach Warren Gatland said his players disliked their Ireland counterparts more than any other team in the Six Nations.

    Is Warren Gatland on a personal crusade against Ireland? Do Scotland really employ dirty tricks to disrupt England's route to the stadium in Murrayfield?

    Ireland v Wales or Scotland v England? Which is the biggest grudge match?

    Gatland famously dropped O’Driscoll for the third Lions Test against Australia in 2013, and it was not well received by Ireland supporters

    Former Ireland international and British and Irish Lions lock Donncha O'Callaghan has written a feisty column in today's Times.

    It's basically a history of grudges between the sides, and a detailed explanation of how to hold one.

    Gatland is apparently sour about being sacked by Ireland and a lack of respect in the world of rugby.

    O'Callaghan says Ireland should see Gatland as the man who dropped Peter O'Mahony from the match-day 23 after one Test as Lions skipper, dropped Brian O’Driscoll from the 23 in the 2013 Lions series, and did not give Rory Best a decent shot in last summer’s tour.

  3. A lot at stake in freezing Dublinpublished at 13:27 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Grey skies, freezing temperatures and several thousand rugby fans curing hangovers with the hair of the dog.

    Dublin on matchday is a colourful spectacle, sparkling with electricity at the prospect of another titanic battle between the celtic cousins.

    Ireland v Wales has served-up some of the most intense, nail-biting physical confrontations of recent years – and the pundits say this one is too close to call.

    Can Ireland overcome a huge hurdle on the road to a potential grand slam showdown with England on St Patrick’s Day? Can Wales keep their challenge alive after the TV replay heartbreak of Twickenham?

    And who’s the TMO?

    Big questions ahead of the big game. Dublin is buzzing.
