Wales head coach Warren Gatland and captain Sam Warburton look ahead to the Six Nations Championship.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Warren Gatland, Wales head coach (Q: You've said that Ireland are favourites, but they're saying you're the Six Nations favourites?)

"Look I think everyone before the competition kicks off is sort of looking at the other teams and we don't really know. It's kind of a...I suppose my experience in this competition, it's one of a bit of momentum. You win a couple of games and you get a bit of confidence and you've got a chance of winning it. But we've been notoriously slow starters, having had that time at the World Cup hopefully puts us in a little better position in terms of preparation. Our first game is away from home in Dublin, so it's going to be really tough. When I was asked that question I thought Ireland first game at home, they'll be tough and if they win that first game as defending champions for the last two years, they're going to be tough to beat."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Warren Gatland, Wales head coach (Q: England and France have changed coaches and other teams have lost players, but you've had continuity?)

"Continuity is important for us and getting experience and getting players with a lot of caps under their belt and that's what I've said hopefully we can go in there and be in reasonable shape and start well and our whole focus is very much on Ireland and that first game and then the second game at home six days later, it's going to be tough, Scotland at home."
