A star-studded team of cyclists delivered the match ball ahead of the Scotland v Wales Six Nations game after a gruelling 555-mile charity ride in memory of the late rugby legend Doddie Weir.
The 200-strong peloton, led by former rugby captain Rob Wainwright, started its epic trip from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Thursday morning - and it was all cheers and smiles as they arrived at BT Murrayfield Stadium at about 4pm on Saturday. As a nod to Weir’s esteemed rugby career, the match ball was strapped to the back of Wainwright’s bike throughout the 48-hour ride across Wales, England and Scotland.
In front of tens of thousands of fans, the rugby legend then handed the ball over to the Princess Royal while supporters sang the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond as they awaited kick-off. Wainwright joked in an interview with the BBC, minutes after arriving at the stadium that he felt "much better after having a shower".
