And White added: "I think it is a really special, talented Lions team.
"I missed out on the 2009 tour after I finished with the Springboks, but if you compare that 2009 side with this one then this one is much better.
"They are better prepared and the players have been picked on form.
"Warren Gatland (Lions head coach) has been successful with Wales, the dominant figure in the northern hemisphere, and there are so many positives for the Lions this time.
"Warren hasn't beaten them (Australia) in the last few years, but he has come very close and been brave enough to play the southern hemisphere sides more times than most northern hemisphere coaches have done.
"If anyone is equipped to win this series then it's Warren Gatland by what he has done in the last couple of years."
The Lions' strength in depth is underlined by the fact that today's back-row of Sean O'Brien, Justin Tipuric and Toby Faletau are all unlikely to make Gatland's opening Test team.
And White has voiced his admiration for workaholic Ireland flanker O'Brien, who has impressed throughout the trip so far.
"The one chap who has impressed me is O'Brien, I think he has been fantastic," White said.
"He would make most other teams. He goes under the radar, doesn't say much, but he can play rugby.
"They are quality players and they have made it quite clear they want to go unbeaten on this tour. So wherever their players have come from, they will want to buy into that mission."
