Jamie Roberts is keen to make up for lost time in the British and Irish Lions' series decider against Australia on Saturday.

Roberts and O'Driscoll formed a formidable centre partnership during the 2009 tour of South Africa, but the Irishman has now effectively played his last Lions Test. "Thousands of people have said it before me and thousands of people will say it after me, Brian is one of the most incredible players I have played with or against in rugby union," said Roberts. "He will be remembered as a Lions legend, I am sure. "Brian is a leader, I've tasted that playing alongside him. He's a force, and it is up to me and Jon now to lead the way in midfield and take that responsibility and thrive under the pressure."
