The British and Irish Lions have achieved something truly special by winning a Test series - but for this squad to be properly celebrated for decades to come, they need to whitewash the Wallabies.
How good are they, compared to the series-winning teams of 1989, 1997 and 2013?
It's hard to judge given the opposition. Australia have had a tough few years.
Part of me would love to have seen the Lions taken to the edge in three high-intensity Test matches in New Zealand or South Africa.
