London - The British and Irish Lions' epic 15-15 draw with world champions New Zealand on Saturday saw the series end tied at 1-1.
It is only the second time in 12 visits that they have not lost a series to New Zealand - the 1971 Lions remain the only side to have beaten the All Blacks in a series.
A look at the best Twitter reactions following the final whistle:
"Thought @JonFoxDavies was outstanding today. Clever kicking & massive defense. #LionNZ2017."
- Irish icon Brian O'Driscoll, whose Lions tour of New Zealand in 2005 ended within minutes of the first Test after a controversial tackle by Tana Umaga and Keven Mealamu injured his shoulder.
"Awesome series with great support from both @AllBlacks and @lionsofficial fans, 12yrs is too long for this 2 happen again!"
- All Blacks centre Sonny Bill Williams, whose sending off in the 2nd Test - he was banned for four weeks subsequently - arguably shifted the momentum to the Lions.
"Jonathan Davies has to be player of series. Consistently excellent at all times. Saved the series with his chase down on luamape."
- former England backrow forward Nick Easter.
"Is that it??? No result ?? #Lion2017."
- Former Australian great Matt Giteau.
"WHAT A GAME!!! WHAT A SERIES!!!!! It's been truly phenomenal. My man of the series goes to (Maro) Itoje with (Jonathan) Davies a close second! #Lions2017."
- Maggie Alphonsi, a World Cup winner with England's women's team in 2014.
"Great series @lionsofficial but organise a 4th test or play extra time! #NZLions2017."
- former Liverpool and England footballer Jamie Carragher.
"Truly brilliant game, massive well done to Gatland & all involved, game was special & nobody deserved 2 lose but huge courage from Lions."
- Former Lions coach Clive Woodward, who led the tourists to a disastrous 3-0 loss in New Zealand on their last visit in 2005.
"Do we win overall as we won the unofficial 4th test against the Maori's?!"
- former England flyhalf Andy Goode.
"They should play another one next week! #Lions."
- former England fullback Ben Foden.
