FORMER England rugby union captain Lewis Moody has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

The 2003 World Cup winner told BBC Breakfast of his diagnosis yesterday, two weeks after being given the news.

Lewis, 47, said: “It’s not that I don’t understand where it’s going. But there is absolutely a reluctance to look the future in the face.”
