Bowe unaware of bad blood
Irish winger Tommy Bowe has rejected the claims by Wales coach Warren Gatland that the Welsh players dislike the Irish most.
Gatland’s comments have unsurprisingly caused something of a stir, but Ospreys winger Bowe is refusing to take them seriously.
Since joining the Welsh club outfit last summer, the 25-year-old insists he has settled in well and now has a close bond with his club team-mates, eight of whom will start at the Millennium Stadium.
‘You hear in the papers more than anything about egos and different personalities,’ said Bowe. ‘I was a little bit worried wondering what they were all going to be like.
‘When I played in the Wales game last year I didn’t know any of the boys but Lee Byrne was straight over chatting to me afterwards.
‘They’re a good bunch and I’m looking forward to a bit of banter out on the pitch and hopefully a bit of fun after it.
‘People wrote me off going over to play in a Welsh region with so much talent but I’ve fitted in well and have played some good rugby.’
