Sir Graham Henry almost did not recover from coaching the British and Irish Lions in 2001. Despite a series that went to the third Test, and a 29-13 win in Brisbane that many recall as positively as any victory in Lions history, Henry says he did not enjoy the experience and it almost ruined him.
To take charge of a Lions tour is a great honour but equally a poisoned chalice, when the coach returns to his day job. Henry was the manager of Wales and found his relationship with his players was no longer the same.
