Warren Gatland was embarrassed to be a Kiwi when the New Zealand Herald mocked up Australia coach Michael Cheika as a clown.New Zealand saw off Australia 37-10 at Aucklands Eden Park on Oct. 22 to secure a record 18th consecutive Test victory.The New Zealand Herald had depicted Australia boss Cheika as a clown in their sports pages on the morning of the match, with the Wallabies coach later branding the treatment disrespectful.British and Irish Lions head coach Gatland watched on as New Zealands double world champions set yet another record in Auckland, but admitted being ashamed by the actions of some of his countrymen.To be honest with you, and I dont mind you printing this, I was at Eden Park watching the game a couple of weeks ago and as a Kiwi I was embarrassed, said Gatland, who was quick to stress none of his feelings were directed at the All Blacks themselves.Theres the clown stuff in the Herald. One of the things Ive been proud of as a Kiwi, I always thought we showed a lot of humility.As a Kiwi I was sitting in the stands watching the game and I was a little bit embarrassed.Thats something as New Zealanders, in the past weve prided ourselves on that, tried to do that, and tried to be humble about the success of the rugby team.It was the first time, and this is just my opinion, that I found myself saying were better than this.Gatland will lead the Lions to his homeland on the 2017 tour, and will name his backroom coaching staff on Dec. 7.The Wales boss revealed he was considering taking two specialist attack coaches on the 10-match tour, as kit manufacturer Canterbury launched the official Lions 2017 jersey.Gatland praised the All Blacks constant drive for improvement, despite Steve Hansens men scaling previously unreachable Test arena heights.Insisting the New Zealand set-up were not likely to cross the line between confidence and arrogance, Gatland said: I dont think the All Blacks are doing that.There has been some history between Cheika and Hansen -- thats come out on a few occasions.But anything thats come out of the squad and the team, theyve tried to play things down and just talked about trying to improve as a squad.Theyve definitely taken the game to another level at the moment.I dont think the other southern-hemisphere teams are as strong as they have been at the moment.Theres a proportion at the moment in New Zealand where its arrogance and not humility.I still think you can be proud but show humility and show respect.Canterburys new British & Irish Lions Jersey is available to buy at www.canterbury.comRoger Staubach Jersey .
