The British and Irish Lions face a series decider for the seventh time in their history when they face New Zealand in Auckland on Saturday.
Last weekend's 24-21 comeback win in Wellington has set up a winner-takes-all clash at Eden Park, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7.30am.
We examine the previous Lions tours that featured a decisive climax…
1903: Lions lose 1-0 in South Africa
After two successive draws - the second ending in a 0-0 stalemate - the Lions entered the decider in Cape Town with the whole tour on the line.
Two tries swept the Springboks to an 8-0 victory and inflicted upon the Lions a maiden series defeat having prevailed on all four previous tours.
1910: Lions lose 2-1 in South Africa
There was more misery for the Lions in South Africa when their return proved equally unsuccessful, despite taking the series to a decider with an 8-3 win in Port Elizabeth.
Cape Town was the setting for their disappointment once more as Tommy Smyth's tourists were crushed 21-5.
1989: Lions win 2-1 in Australia
The Lions' first visit to Australian shores for 19 years and their first dedicated tour of the country since 1899 teetered on the brink of disaster after a 30-12 mauling in the first Test - their heaviest defeat to the Wallabies.
Significant changes were made, among them the selection of Jeremy Guscott, Rob Andrew and Mike Teague, and successive wins were reeled off.
1993: Lions lose 2-1 in New Zealand
The last Lions tour of the amateur era was a case of what might have been.
A dubious late penalty, one of several contentious refereeing decisions, cost them victory in the first Test.
Seven days later Wellington proved a happier hunting ground in the shape of a 20-7 win and a place in Lions legend awaited Gavin Hastings' men, but they were well beaten 30-13 at Eden Park.
2001: Lions lose 2-1 in Australia
The Lions dared to dream after crushing the Wallabies 29-13 in the first Test, Brian O'Driscoll and Jason Robinson running in memorable tries, but they unravelled a week later.
Nathan Grey's elbow on Richard Hill, which ended the influential England flanker's series, acted as the catalyst for a 35-14 loss in the second Test.
The Sydney decider was a nail-biter that saw the Lions botch a late attacking lineout to succumb 29-23.
2013: Lions win 2-1 in Australia
The rivals were hard to separate over the first two Tests, the Brisbane opener lit up by George North's Jonah Lomu-esque try.
The build-up to the decider centred on Warren Gatland's contentious decision to drop O'Driscoll for Jonathan Davies, a call that was in part justified by a resounding 41-16 triumph which avenged the heartache of 12 years earlier.
The Lions were magnificent in one of their finest performances.
