British and Irish Lions podcast: Dr James Robson joins Will Greenwood's podcast

Every match from the British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa will be exclusively live on Sky Sports; fans who don't have Sky will be able to catch all the action via streaming service NOW, which offers day and month passes

By Will Greenwood, Rugby Union Expert & Columnist @willgreenwood

Dr James Robson was the Lions team doctor and physio on six consecutive tours from 1993-2013 and he saved Will's life on the 1997 tour.

They talk about that incident and discuss whether it would have any impact on Will in his later life.

They also reminisce on each tour and 'Robbo' as he's affectionately known gives his tour highlights and also expresses his disappointment at not being involved in 2017 or 2021.

He's chief medical officer with Scottish Rugby and worked on his 250th international during the 2021 Six Nations.

Lions kit, 'tour courts' and his pitch-side celebrations are also discussed and much, much more.
