Legendary former Lions captain Willie John McBride says he cannot understand why Warren Gatland has dropped Brian O’Driscoll for Saturday’s decisive Final Test against Australia.

McBride added that a number of decisions on this summer’s tour suggests that the “concept and ethos of the Lions has been forgotten”.
