I was 'really hurt' by Sean O'Brien's Lions criticism, admits Warren Gatland

Warren Gatland has revealed he was "hurt" by Ireland star Sean O'Brien's criticism of the British and Irish Lions' New Zealand tour.

Flanker O'Brien, a pivotal Lions figure during a pulsating drawn three-Test series against the All Blacks earlier this year, claimed in an interview last month that the squad had been over-trained during Test match preparations.
