British and Irish Lions set for historical decider to New Zealand tour

    The British and Irish Lions are set for a historical conclusion to their tour of New Zealand.

    The visitors were easily beaten by a familiarly dominant All Blacks in the first of three Tests but put on a thrilling display to secure victory in the second.

    The final deciding test will take place tomorrow, 8 July, at 8.35am.

    British and Irish Lions captain Sam Warburton spoke to BBC Sport: "It feels like all the sacrifice over the past four years and all the little things I have done have come to this moment," Warburton told BBC Sport.

    "I am delighted that my body has held up more than anything," said the Cardiff Blues flanker. "That is half the battle with me, my fitness.

    "I was delighted when I heard my name read out for the third Test and to have the chance to finish a Test series and potentially to win it.

    "For me four years ago does feel like unfinished business because I was gutted I could not play that third game - even though I was over the moon and it was a career highlight to win, you still, as a player want to be involved in that and have your small contribution to the game.

    "So for the past four years in the back of my mind I have set my sights on this tour and I wanted to be in the Test team and play in the last game."
