Warren Gatland may have come within a whisker of becoming only the second British and Irish Lions coach to beat New Zealand in a Test series, but he insisted Monday he would never coach them again. The 54-year-old New Zealander -- whose side drew 1-1 with the All Blacks in the three Test series earlier this year with the third one drawn -- said the negativity and the personal nature of the attacks on him in the Kiwi media had worn him down. "I'm done. I hated the tour. I did. I just hated the press and the negativity in New Zealand," he told the press on Monday. "When I look back on it now, there were a lot of things that were satisfying and what an achievement it was, but it was tough work. It was hard," added Gatland.
