Scotland rugby great Doddie Weir dies of motor neurone disease just weeks after appearing at Murrayfield before the All Blacks’ win over Scotland.
The Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) announced Weir’s death today.
The lock played 61 times for Scotland.
Weir was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neurone disease (MND), in December 2016.
He used his profile to push for better research to be carried out into ALS and appealed for improved care to be given to those affected by it.
