過密な住居 Gatland yesterday lit the fuse for an 爆発性の RBS Six Nations 肩書を与える decider by （人命などを）奪う，主張するing his むちの跡s players harbour a 深遠な grudge against their Irish 競争相手s.

The coach of the 統治するing 支持する／優勝者s is 決定するd to unsettle Declan 腎臓’s squad as they approach Saturday’s match at the Millennium Stadium hoping to 安全な・保証する a first Green 激突する for 61 years.

Having already 最高潮の場面d the Irish 傾向 to implode on the biggest occasions, the New Zealander made it plain that, for むちの跡s, this Celtic 衝突／不一致 代表するs personal 商売／仕事.

動かす it up: むちの跡s coach 過密な住居 Gatland has started the mind games ahead of Saturday's Six Nations decider in むちの跡s

‘The players’ experiences against Ireland and their experiences at 地方の level against Leinster and Munster 港／避難所’t always been the greatest, so they are very 動機づけるd,’ said Gatland.

‘We’ve even talked about how, out of all the teams in the Six Nations, the Welsh players dislike the Irish players the most.’

His unprompted 観察 about how Brian O’Driscoll and Co are regarded within the Welsh （軍の）野営地，陣営 is classic motivational 構成要素 and he knows it. 腎臓, the Ireland coach, will be tempted t o 答える／応じる in time-honoured fashion by pinning the 感情を害する／違反するing words to the dressing-room door, but that would be 正確に／まさに what Gatland wants.

The （疑いを）晴らす 意向 is to whip the Irish players into a 明言する／公表する of uncontrolled 激怒（する） so that their game-計画（する） is trampled under a 殺到 of angry boots. Just in 事例／患者 the animosity angle does not have the 願望（する）d 影響, Gatland also mischievously 示唆するd 腎臓’s men had got わずかに ahead of themselves in savouring victory at Murrayfield three days ago.

Happy times: Ireland's Jamie Heaslip celebrates his try against Scotland last week

‘After the Scotland game the Ireland players were in their changing room for an hour-and-a-half celebrating and singing, so they are 明白に pretty happy with how they are doing,’ he said. ‘Now they’re playing for the Grand 激突する, so they are pretty excited about that.

‘We went 完全に the other way (after （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing Italy) because the boys went 支援する to the hotel, didn’t drink at all and started thinking about this game. It’s a わずかに different approach, but you can’t 非難する them for that. It’s just 利益／興味ing, that’s all.’

Gatland also took the big stick to Irish self-belief by 尋問 their 神経 and innate 警告を与える when the 半導体素子s are 負かす／撃墜する. He said: ‘At some 行う／開催する／段階 you have to be 用意が出来ている to take more 危険s and play a bit more expansively. Their whole 焦点（を合わせる） has been about getting the result ― they 港／避難所’t worried too much about the 業績／成果.’

むちの跡s have worried a lot about their 業績／成果 in Rome last Saturday, when they 労働d to a 20-15 勝利，勝つ over Italy. Gatland has 反応するd by 解任するing his first-choice players 一団となって／一緒に, with Ryan Jones 支援する as captain. Andy Powell has been 保持するd at No 8, にもかかわらず a chastening afternoon at the Stadio Flaminio, and there was a の近くに call in midfield, where Tom Shanklin returns to partner Gavin Henson at the expense of Jamie Roberts.

Bitter 競争: むちの跡s and Ireland 衝突／不一致 at Croke Park last year

Gatland 譲歩するd that 激しい非難 of his 決定／判定勝ち（する） to make nine changes for the Italy match was fair comment, as it leaves むちの跡s needing to （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Ireland by at least 13 points to 首尾よく defend their 肩書を与える. ‘I’ve been criticised for the number of changes and that is probably 正当化するd,’ he said. ‘It was the wrong 決定／判定勝ち（する）.’

腎臓 has made three starting changes. Tomas O’Leary returns at scrum half while Jerry Flannery and Jamie Heaslip have been 解任するd to the pack at hooker and No 8 それぞれ.
