British and Irish Lions doctor James Robson has revealed that he was relieved that the majority of the squad emerged unharmed from the clash with the Barbarians on Saturday.

There were concerns that the high temperatures and humidity would harm their chances of emerging unscathed, but the tie in Hong Kong proved to be a success.

"It was tough conditions out there. I think the boys did exceptionally well. I'm delighted that we actually have less damage than I would normally expect from a normal Test match," Robson told BBC Sport.

"Having said that two guys - Paul O'Connell and Tom Youngs - required stitches. It's never nice when somebody gets cut but those were accidents. All I can say is that we are going to arrive in Australia with the squad intact.

"We have, for the bulk of the squad, been training for three weeks and some of the training has been pretty brutal and I've been immensely impressed with the work ethic of this squad."

The Lions are next in action against Western Force on June 5.
