One man stands head and shoulders above the rest. And those shoulders must be stinging after another night of sitting All Blacks down with crunching tackles.
Jonathan Davies has now started six Tests in a row and fronted up in the most marvellous way. For the second big match in a row, Davies was the exemplary Lion on display.
He made eight big tackles, including two blockbusters on Jordie Barrett and a chase back that prevented an intercept try. Like Brian O'Driscoll had a habit of doing, some of his rushes out of the line were perfectly timed and reversed the momentum in blow after shuddering blow.
In terms of the Test Series, the Welsh centre was the Lions' best for clean breaks and offloads.

Toss in eight more carries, 29 extra metres and another line break and you get an idea of the attacking impact he had too.
Here's how we rated Davies in each of the three Test matches:
FIRST TEST: Great line break at the start nearly set up a Murray try. Involved in O'Brien try and punctured the Kiwis with a great second half break that nearly led to a Watson score. Missed a crucial tackle in the lead-up to the Ioane try when he shot out of the line. 8/10 SECOND TEST: Made one delicious out-the-back offload in the first half. Busy and effective. 8/10 THIRD TEST: What a warrior! Break-neck chase back to collar Lamaupe after Barrett's intercept. Massive defensive hit on Jordie Barrett after rushing out. Great carry early in the second second half helped win a penalty. 9/10Typical of Davies' modesty, he dismissed Sky Sports' praise for his own contribution and chose instead to rave about his teammates. He won't say how brilliantly he played himself so we'll leave that to an undoubted expert on the matter. https://twitter.com/BrianODriscoll/status/883625284234301440 That'll do it for us.
