Iain Henderson says Lions comments were 'misconstrued'

Iain Henderson: I would have a lot of faith in Gats’ decisions

Iain Henderson says that issues he highlighted in relation to Warren Gatland’s Lions tactics and team selections during the summer tour to South Africa have been misconstrued.

The Ulster and Ireland second row was quoted in September saying that the Lions 'fell into' an attempt to beat the Springboks at their own forward-dominated, physical game. He also suggested the head coach leaned on reputation rather than form when choosing his selection.
