Former England captain Lewis Moody has been hailed as “the most wonderful human” after revealing that he has motor neurone disease.
The 47-year-old, who won 71 England caps, leading his country on 12 occasions, alongside three caps for the British and Irish Lions, announced his battle against the degenerative condition, which was diagnosed two weeks ago, on BBC Breakfast, and figures in rugby and beyond have rallied around him in support.
