Glasgow Warriors wing Sean Maitland has admitted that he cannot wait for the British and Irish Lions tour to begin next month.

The 24-year-old, who joined up with the 37-man squad for a medical on Monday, has also revealed that he wants to prove himself on the tour.

"It's awesome. Six months ago who would have thought that I'd be here in a Lions polo and being surrounded by all these great men. It's just crazy how it's all worked out," he told Sky Sports News.

"I've been like a little boy in a candy shop. The amount of gear we've got is absolutely crazy. I've only been here for half an hour so there's more to come and I can't wait.

"There's five games before the first Test so everyone has got a chance. Everyone has got a shot. I think for me just to be myself, having a good time and just trying to prove myself and have some fun."

The tournament gets underway on June 1.
