Gatland aims at more physical approach for Lions

The British and Irish Lions must fight fire with fire and become more "physical" in their approach, British and Irish Lions forward coach, Warren Gatland, said on Monday. Gatland spoke of the abrasive nature of the South African game, expecting to see this when they face the Golden Lions, and dismissed the perception that the Golden Lions will be easy prey, following their poor form in the Super 14. "It's a Super 14 side, there will be a good crowd to spur them on, and they're playing a touring side," Gatland told the media.
