Australia head coach Joe Schmidt, speaking to the media: "They earned whatever they got tonight. I couldn't be any prouder of the way the players rebounded. The feeling of disappointment they had was deep. You had to let that run its course and let them springboard back.

Does it feel like you're one decision away from winning the series? "We can't get those points back, we can only play the points that are in front of us. I'm not gonna look back at maybes.

"We lost the first half of the series, I feel like we won the second half. I feel like we've grown into the series."

Joe Schmidt has got this wrong or Australian Rugby Union have got this wrong.

The preparation was just not right. We have said on so many occasions it is not like the Lions have crept up. The Lions has been 12 years in the making.

They will absolutely rue the lack of preparation for that first Test because we have seen in Test two and three they are very competitive and in some cases a match or even better than the Lions.

The fact the Lions won that first Test at a canter allowed them to be down in that second Test and come back and take the lead in the 79th minute. That has been hugely important and has won the Test series.

Tadgh Beirne's starting spot in the first Test was questioned by many.

He now walks away as the player of the series.

"It is hard to go unnoticed when you get tagged on social media and it's popping up on your phone," he said about the reaction to his first Test selection.

"You just ignore it. You got to use that as leverage. When I saw my name on the board, I knew I needed to step up. I'm chuffed that I did that."

Have the last two Tests proved the Wallabies are worthy of their Lions tour spot? Even if it is back-to-back series defeats?

Hit the thumbs.

Lions head coach Andy Farrell on rugby union in Australia: "I said in the week it would be insulting to question Australia's place on the series and I repeat that. Special things are going to happen to Australia over the next 18 months. They have special athletes and special players."

If Australia prepared a little bit better in terms of more than one warm-up game and I know they have been busy this season. The Lions is every 12 years, surely they could have been more prepared in terms of competitiveness.

Nic White played his 72nd and final game for Australia. What a way to go out. He was epic.

The rain was unbelievable. You could hardly see the ball. It looked like there was white snow coming down, it was that heavy.

It was like a war out there. The amount of players going off for HIA [head injury assessments] doesn't usually happen. It was like Australia were trying to beat up the Lions.

I was expecting the Lions to win this series 3-0 and at a canter and it's been anything but.

The score today does really change the view on the whole tour. I said this time last week that I was so glad when Keenan scored that try but I want it to be competitive. I was just worried what might happen tonight.

You couldn't foresee the weather conditions, which was a massive factor. It was split between which team would favour the weather, and it was definitely in favour of the Wallabies.

I don't think the Lions will be pleased with how they played and it felt like a game too far after an attritional season.

Lions head coach Andy Farrell, speaking to the media about the storm delay in the second half: "We weren't sure of the rules. At one stage it looked like 45 minutes, then 30 minutes, we stayed relaxed enough and knew we had to get the show back on the road.

"But off the back of that Australia hit the ground running.

On the tour: "The best team won on the night. It might take one or it might take two beers but they'll be unbelievable proud of what they've achieved on this tour. On reflection we can be unbelievable proud.

"The legacy for us is in the changing room. The togetherness, it's been an absolute delight. We've played some outstanding rugby and that's accumulated into a performance that last week ended up being a moment that'll stay with us forever."

Tadhg Furlong and Jack Conan have started the last six Lions Test.

Furlong will be 36 and Conan 37 by the next tour in New Zealand.

Not many Lions teams win a Test series so that has to be celebrated.

They weren't playing a world champion New Zealand team or South African team. But an Aussie team that is working it’s way back up and not that prepared in the first test in Brisbane.

Yes, it’s a series win, yes it will go down in the history books. The Lions had a chance at a legacy and they weren’t quite able to manage it.

Dan Sheehan has been brilliant for Ireland and the Lions, scoring last week. Yes the line-outs weren’t working, neither was the scrums, neither was the kicking game and neither was the chase game. There were very few components of that game they’ll be satisfied with.

British and Irish Lions flanker Tadhg Beirne, who was named player of the series, said: "The medal is special but the win is special and we got to celebrate that last week.

"Credit to Australia as they came out and took it to us in the weather but we have still won the whole series and that was all the matters. It's a bittersweet one."

On a third Test defeat: "I thought some of our defensive sets were excellent, it was some of the penalties we just kept giving them opportunities."

The Lions looked like a team who had won the series last week, the motivation wasn't there.

The Wallabies looked like a team who had suffered an injustice last week and wanted to prove a point.

That level of motivation, eagerness to get on the ball and sophistication from the Wallabies with tactical naivety from the Lions was the difference.

Owen Farrell, speaking to Sky Sports: "The main thing that I can say is that since I have been out here, I have loved it. This group is unbelievable and the things they did before I arrived that helped me come to this team and slot in easy, it felt like I had been here all along."
