Wales boss Warren Gatland has warned his players not to get ‘ caught with their pants down ’ in Rome after their famous victory over Ireland set up a final-round decider against Italy . Having edged out their round-four tie at the Millennium Stadium , Gatland ’ s side are still in the hunt for the championship but they must better the points difference of both England and Ireland to top the standings . Wales have won their last seven meetings against the Azzuri , however they will have to prepare for the tie at the Stadio Olimpico with major fitness concerns over Jamie Roberts , Richard Hibbard , Gethin Jenkins and Samson Lee . Wales coach Warren Gatland has warned his team to focus on winning against Italy before running up a score . A delighted Wales team celebrates keeping their 2015 RBS Six Nations title hopes alive with victory . ‘ If you go in with an attitude that we need to score , 20 , 30 or 40 points then we ’ ll get caught with our pants down and be rolled over , ’ said Gatland . ‘ It will be tough for Italy with a six-day turnaround . Italy are not a bad side . It ’ s important to do a job up front and accumulate points . ‘ It could come down to the last 15 or 20 minutes . It will be nice to go there and get a win and hopefully win by a few . We ’ re first up at the weekend so we ’ ll see how the other teams react afterwards . It puts us under some pressure but hopefully it puts England and Ireland under some pressure too. ’ England face a potential banana-skin tie against France , while Ireland have a trip to wooden spoon favourites Scotland . Like Gatland , Ireland coach Joe Schmidt will also approach the closing weekend with caution . The Kiwi coach found himself in a similar situation 12 months ago , when he pipped the English to the title with a dramatic victory at the Stade de France . Sam Warburton gives a thumb up after an heroic defensive effort from Wales in their win over Ireland . Warburton makes a run at Ireland hooker Rory Best at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday . ‘ I suppose it ’ s a bit similar to last year , when we just knew we needed the result in Paris , ’ said Schmidt . ‘ That ’ s something we managed to do and we won the championship on the back of it , and England had to sit and watch . But you ’ ve got to beat those teams first . I don ’ t think you can afford to go anywhere and start chasing points . . . Scotland are going to be very difficult to beat. ’ Last night ’ s defeat in Cardiff was not how Paul O ’ Connell hoped to celebrate his 100th Test . The 35-year-old was outfoxed at the line-out by Alun-Wyn Jones and Luke Charteris , admitting that he is itching to right those wrongs at Murrayfield next week . ‘ The guys are very disappointed but it ’ s not up to Joe or me or anyone to lift anyone , it ’ s up to individuals to lift themselves , ’ said O ’ Connell . ‘ One thing about losing is that you just want to get out there and play again as soon as you can. ’ Gatland praised his medical team for introducing a ‘ spotter ’ who flagged up Hibbard ’ s head injury . Richard Hibbard was withdrawn after his head injury was spotted by video analysis and doctors alerted . Following the controversy of George North ’ s concussion against England , chief medical manager Prav Mathema moved to increase his resources to deal with the issue . Hibbard ’ s 78th-minute injury was picked up on video analysis equipment , with the spotter subsequently ordering the team doctors via radio to remove the hooker from the pitch . ‘ Prav has put in place a spotter with video access , ’ said Gatland . ‘ It ’ s pleasing because there ’ s been so much said about concussion . ’
Wales beat Ireland to keep Six Nations challenge alive . George North ’ side probably need to beat Italy convincingly to win title . But Welsh coach insists his team must focus on just getting the result . England , Ireland and Wales all have six points after four games .
