Intro:

Reaction after Warren Gatland's Wales beat Joe Schmidt's Ireland 23-16 in the rugby Six Nations Championship.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Warren Gatland, Wales coach:

"It's good for the competition I think the fact that... You know, we said how disappointed we were in the second half against England, and we had to dig deep and win a couple of games away from home and get ourselves back in this competition - and we've done that. So, very proud of the effort and the players, you know the way that they've done that over the last three games and pulled ourselves back into it. So, you know, it's a good position to be in."

SOUNDBITE (English) Joe Schmidt, Ireland coach:(Question: Do you have a bit of a problem with the actual refereeing or the way your team handled it?)

"No, look we've got to take responsibility for what happens in our ruck and with our tempo. I think that's for other people to look at. We've got to look at ourselves. And I think there's got to be some credit given to the Welsh as well, they're certainly never going to make it easy here. I think last time Ireland came here they got a big lead in the first half and Wales came storming back. We knew that they weren't going to afford us any luxury of a big lead in the first half, but we didn't help ourselves. They got themselves into the game and did a good job of it."
