IRELAND AND WALES have had an intense rivalry over the last few years after their various Six Nations clashes, their World Cup meeting and that time Warren Gatland dropped Brian O’Driscoll.

Not only that but Andy Howell of Wales Online – who annoyed many Irish supporters by saying Gatland’s Lions team should have had more Welsh players in it – also thinks not many Irishmen would make it into a composite Ireland/Wales selection.
