AUCKLAND (Reuters) - British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland thinks the three-test series against New Zealand remains very much alive despite the disappointment of Saturday's 30-15 defeat in the opener.

Popular wisdom had it that the Lions would have to catch the All Blacks cold on Saturday if they were to have any chance of securing a first series win in New Zealand since 1971.
