British and Irish Lions rugby union head coach Warren Gatland's named an unchanged 15 for the deciding Test with New Zealand in Auckland on Saturday.

Mako (pron: MACKO) Vunipola had been under pressure for his place in the front row after indiscipline in last weekend's victory in Wellington.

But the England prop keeps his place, with Ireland's Jack McGrath having to settle for a spot on the bench, which is also unchanged.
