Doddie Weir makes inspirational appearance at Scotland v All Blacks amid special gesture

Former Scotland star Doddie Weir and his family were on hand to deliver the matchday ball for the Scots' Autumn Nations Series clash against New Zealand on Sunday.

Weir and his family had carried the match ball the last time the All Blacks came to Murrayfield in 2017, just months after Weir had revealed his diagnosis.

It is five years since Weir, 52, launched his charity — the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation — which raises awareness of motor neurone disease, a condition he was diagnosed with in 2016. Weir has helped raise millions of pounds to fund research.
