It was only the second time in history that the Lions drew a test series and Warren Gatland, like all Lions supporters, is slightly bugged by the anti-climax that a draw presents.
It culminated in weird and slightly awkward scenes in the aftermath of the game with respective captains Sam Warburton and Kieran Read sharing the trophy and neither side wishing to appear too giddy with the draw.

No-one really knew what to do, Warburton even admitted he'd love to be going into extra-time straight after the game.

Warren Gatland has a suggestion that we would all love to see happen.The Barbarians are down to play the All Blacks at Twickenham in November and Gatland is enthused by the idea of letting his British and Irish Lions stepping in to take the place of the Baa-Baas.
"That would be good, wouldn't it? You'll have to ask PRL (Premiership Rugby Limited) if they'd release any of the players."In fairness, it is a long shot, but it could happen in a different way with The Lions squad playing as The Barbarians. Cast your memory back to 1973 when the 1971 Lions squad came together and played under the Barbarians banner and defeated the All Blacks 23-11 in Cardiff. Make it happen again, lads.
