British and Irish assistant coach Graham Rowntree
Graham Rowntree insists the British and Irish Lions are "ready for this battle" ahead of Saturday's series decider against Australia.
Following two evenly-fought contests, the series will come down to a winner-takes-all final Test at Sydney's ANZ Stadium, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 10am.
The Lions are just 80 minutes away from a first triumphant tour in 16 years, while Wallabies are one win away from emulating their series triumph in 2001.
And assistant coach Rowntree has outlined what will be required to topple the Wallabies, who enter what is expected to be another epic struggle as marginal favourites.
"Seeing how we've trained all week, crikey we're ready for this battle," Rowntree said.
"We saw the reaction from Australia after they beat us last weekend - their captain James Horwill was crying.
"They threw everything at us and beat us by a point. We didn't get our game going and we know that.
"There's loads more to come from us and the guys are desperate to win. This is grand final rugby, the last throw of the dice with everything to play for.
"There's one huge performance left in us. These players are desperate for tomorrow.
"We have to go out and give it everything. This is the biggest game of our lives, as players and coaches.
"A lot of us have been involved in grand final games, but this is the biggest one for us."
