Rory Best has stoked the flames ahead of Saturday’s Triple Crown clash with Wales and declared "You haven’t been tested yet".
Ireland and Ulster hooker Best believes Gatland’s side have got off lightly so far with successive RBS Six Nations wins over England, Scotland and Italy.

Best, 25, said: "We feel they’ve not been pressurised yet. England put a bit of pressure on them at Twickenham but let them off the hook in the last 10-15 minutes. We want to start well and then do that for the full eighty minutes."

Best insists Eddie O’Sullivan’s side will start their preparation by targeting Wales’s line-out: "We will sit down and do our homework on them. We’ll take their line-out apart and see how we can benefit from it and put the pressure on them. Wales are playing really good rugby, they’ve got their tails up and will be a difficult side to stop.

"But Croke Park has been a happy hunting ground for us. We want that to continue. We’ve been going well recently and we’re confident. We will do everything we can to keep that record going."
