The British and Irish Lions are flying home empty handed after losing the Springboks decider and losing their South Africa series 2-1.
While the trip ended in disappointment, Warren Gatland's side has some bright sparks to be proud of, with Maro Itoje and Finn Russell representing hope for the future.
After a gruelling two months in South Africa, Sportsmail's Will Kelleher rates the performances of each squad member.
The British and Irish Lions' South Africa tour ended in disappointment as the hosts won
Warren Gatland 6
Some selections paid off, but others did not. His first defeat as Lions boss will be tinged with regrets about not attacking South Africa enough.
Liam Williams 6
Only started one Test and butchered huge chance to put Adams away. Not always secure under high balls.
Stuart Hogg 5
Tough tour for the Scotland captain, who was dropped after a poor second Test under an aerial assault.

Anthony Watson 6
Part of underused back three who hardly saw the ball. Dropped with Hogg.
Duhan van der Merwe 5
Glimpses of defence-busting talent in the final game but saw little ball out wide and did not look for it enough.
Josh Adams 6
Brought in for decider after eight tries in five games. Should have played earlier.
Elliot Daly 5
Played all but one game, but always caught between positions. Didn’t do enough at centre to convince.
Chris Harris 6
Came into second Test as part of revolving-door midfield selection. Couldn’t release those outside.
Robbie Henshaw 8
Shining light in the backline, carrying strongly into heavy traffic. One whose stock has risen.

Bundee Aki 6.5
One Test but made little yardage through contact. Tour hero off the field, keeping spirits high.
Dan Biggar 6.5
Started all three Tests but hampered by one-dimensional game plan of kicking up and unders.
Owen Farrell 5
A bit part in the first two Tests, then left
