We just witnessed the closest Lions Test series ever. The Lions won the series 2-1, but had a one-point advantage on points difference (68-67) over the three Tests.
Ultimately it’s a win, so it’s mission accomplished. We know how hard it is to win a Test series but yesterday’s loss, and the way the game played out, does leave a slightly bitter taste in the mouth. It was a surreal game with the monsoon-like conditions making it more like a game of northern hemisphere rugby
