(Reuters) - Warren Gatland has urged Wales flyhalf Sam Costelow to bottle his nerves and grab the opportunity in Saturday’s Six Nations fixture in Ireland, adding that his side head to Dublin without fear after successive losses in the championship.

Costelow was selected for the opening 27-26 home loss to Scotland but had a poor game as Wales went 27-0 down before rallying in the second half once Costelow had left the pitch with a neck injury.
