12 Nov 2007 - GB COMPLETE SERIES WHITEWASH

Tony Smith's men were forced to come from 12-0 down to ensure they finished the Gillette Fusion Series on a high.

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match Sean O'Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time and the Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith's 100% record as Great Britain coach.

A fourth successive win represents the best achievement since the era of Malcolm Reilly and Ellery Hanley in the early Nineties but the paucity of the opposition must be borne in mind when making any comparisons
