Brian Moore’s has been rallied around by the rugby community after he was admitted to hospital following a heart attack.
He tweeted on Saturday: “As this is starting to get out – I’m in ICU of St George’s having suffered heart attack. Thanks to the professionals who saved my life.”
Moore was part of the Lions squad for the tours of Australia and New Zealand in 1989 and 1993 respectively.
