There are few men better placed to articulate the challenges posed by Warren Gatland’s Wales than Graham Rowntree.

The England Forwards Coach has worked with New Zealander Gatland on two British and Irish Lions tours, overseeing the likes of captain Sam Warburton, lock Alun Wyn Jones and stalwart centre Jamie Roberts.

Factor in five meetings with Wales over a 54-cap playing career and Rowntree has an acute understanding of this weekend’s opposition.
