Lions coach Warren Gatland had the last laugh with the New Zealand media when he wore a red clown nose to his post-match press conference.
The press in Gatland's homeland had been less than complimentary towards the coach through the Lions tour, which was drawn after the sides shared a thrilling 15-15 stalemate in the final Test.
The New Zealand Herald printed a caricature of Gatland after the British & Irish Lions coach questioned the All Blacks' tactics and that they had illegally targeted scrum-half Conor Murray's standing leg in Saturday's first Test.
Even All Blacks coach Steve Hansen expressed his disappointment with that, underlining his deep respect for Gatland and his touring players.
Lions assistant coach Rob Howley called the treatment of Gatland "an absolute disgrace".
But Gatland responded in a way which was more in keeping with the spirit in which the series was played, donning a red nose as he arrived to speak to the media after the match.
