“We would have won 3-0” – Three players who criticised Warren Gatland after Lions tours

Speaking on the Scottish Rugby podcast, he has been reflecting on the campaign.

“I thought that all three Tests we should have played more rugby and gone at them a little bit more,” he said.

“The first two Tests we played off nine for two phases and I kind of felt that played into their defence.

“We weren’t doing much out of the back of it. We were keeping the attack narrow instead of having a wide attack.

“The first ten minutes of the third Test, there was still quite a bit of kicking and a lot of play off nine.

“There wasn’t much rugby that actually got played.

“I was sitting on the bench thinking we are doing the same as in the last two games even though we’ve spoken about being a little bit more expansive.

“With coming on early enough, I was able to try and play that style of rugby.”
