British and Irish Lions team doctor James Robson has paid tribute to the side for their professionalism over the course of their current tour of Australia.

Robson has been kept busy since joining up with the side, with seven new recruits so far having flown out to cover injured players at the halfway point of their travels.

Robson, who is on his sixth Lions tour as the medical chief, has praised the current squad for making his job easier.

"On this tour, I have found the group of players to be the most professional I have witnessed," Robson told Sky Sports News.

"They have been brilliant. You do not have to chase any of them to come for treatment.

"The greatest motivation for these guys is that which drove them to want to be here. They wanted to be on a Lions tour, and now they want to be in a Lions Test."

The Lions face the Brumbies at 10.40am on Tuesday.
