GAT FURY AT CRITICS

WARREN GATLAND has reacted furiously to criticism of his coaching philosophy – after changing his entire team to face the Blues.

The Lions boss (above) took exception to the direct style of rugby he favours being questioned.

“I don’t know why I have to f***ing keep defending myself,” said the New Zealander (above) after the team announcement.

Gatland is under pressure to spark the Lions into life after they sleepwalked through their tour opener.
