Alan Quinlan joins Stuart McAvoy for a final review of the Lions 2-1 series win over Australia. Saturday's dramatic final test where the weather played havoc with the game is discussed first. Quinny gives insight on how players deal with a lengthy stoppage during a game, given the shots we saw of the Lions players on their phones or sitting on beanbags in Sydney on Saturday and whether the Wallabies kept themselves sharper during that weather break.

The lads (including Quinny's dogs) also give credit to Australia for avoiding the whitewash, debate whether Andy Farrell should have picked a different team for the final game, and praise the standout players for the Lions down under.
