SPECIAL GAME FOR WALES V SCOTLAND TODAY!

This is a FRIENDLY game to highlight the horrendous disease that is MND
.... MOTOR NEURONS DISEASE

It's the DODDIE WEIR CUP

So named for former Scotland Captain Doddie Weir who is a sufferer of this dreadful, terminal disease.

This game will highlight the cause. Collection buckets will be at the stadium

The WRU who initially were not contributing financially to Doddie's charity have been shamed by Social Media into now giving a donation. AND SO THEY SHOULD! .....They are charging £75 a ticket!!!! :-0
