Final word on the Lions as they head home on Tuesday from todays newspapers: Of course, as Gatland readily conceded, the Lions would assuredly have won had O’Driscoll been playing at outside centre. O’Driscoll would have had a stormer with this platform and, critically, playing alongside Jamie Roberts. As the only inside centre in the squad, Roberts gave the midfield a target runner to attack the gain line that had been missing and that O’Driscoll feeds off. See his second try against the Western Force off Manu Tuilagi’s half-break and offload. He’s still the greatest. Nothing changes in that regard. Gatland’s decision will forever be debated, especially in Ireland, and it will always have felt wrong
