British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland has supported calls for extra time if Saturday's deciding test is level after 80 minutes.

The series is currently tied at 1-1 and a draw on Saturday would see the Series finish all square as it did in New Zealand four years ago. 

Gatland is open to the idea of playing on until a winner emerges in the third Test.

It's understood that there is no provision for extra time this year either but when asked if he would support such a move, the Lions head coach told the Telegraph: “Maybe that’s something that someone can talk about over the next few days, about whether we do potentially go to extra time if it is a draw. That’s not a bad idea."
