    The performance of Finn Russell surely silenced the moaning pundits calling him too much of a risk to go on tour never mind play.
    Russell caused more problems for the Boks in the 1st ten minutes on the pitch than anyone else had in all 3 tests.
    If only Liam Williams had set Adams loose wed have won the series on Saturday.

      @@jaypw321 his penalty count was telling as was Englands under pressure in the 6N What he done on the 2nd lineout try was unnecessary and very costly but after the clamour in the media to play Williams his greed was more obvious and significant. Had he put Adams in to score it would have changed the Boks outlook on defence and made it very clear that with Price/Russell playing quick ball outside costing them scores they could no longer depend on mopping up high kicks from Biggar/Murray eg 2nd test or winning turnovers when a rare line break by Henshaw or such lacked support.
      Im not sure Curry is overrated though. He certainly isnt at the level he was 2 years ago but i think he played best when beside Underhill during the WC year. I would have had Hamish Watson in front of him all day long or Tipuric had he been involved simply on this years 6N if nothing else. Im not sure AWJ should have been playing either and cant understand Gatlands not playing Beard, Henderson or Beirne in any of the tests from the start.

    The B&I lads can hold their heads up high - they could've won the series right up to the last minute. They all put their bodies on the line, nobody shirked responsibilities, they all left everything on the field, and any other time the Lions would be sharing the series or they'd be winners overall. I've become a big fan of most of these Lions players, and just like with the Boks, if there's any criticism of the game plan, it's to be aimed at the coaches, not the players. Also nice to see lads from both teams smiling at the end, fuckin hell they deserve a break after all that quarantine time!

If Gatland is in charge for the next Lions series, I will support Australia.

Not only did he lose his bottle re; tactics, he threw Russell under the bus with his snidey comments after 3rd Test! That's the sort thing we've come to expect from EJ, but is totally unbecoming of a Lions head coach!

      Who could have done any better than he did in the 3 tests? It doesnt matter whos on the wing if the ball isnt being played wide by the 10. That never happened all 3 tests till Russell came on.
      He deserved his place more than many did and if the Lions had played it out wide from the start then a more open game could have seen the Boks defence shown to be far from impenetrable.
      At least next time in Australia we can expect to see 2 teams playing the right way especially if Townsend is in charge.
