Scotland outhalf Adam Hastings admits family friend and former Murrayfield hero Doddie Weir will be a major source of inspiration when they take on Wales on Saturday. Hastings, whose father Gavin starred alongside Weir for Scotland during the 1990s, said: “Doddie’s a friend of my dad’s, I’ve met him quite a few times when I was younger. “I don’t know how he has been so positive with the whole thing, I definitely wouldn’t be. “I don’t know the ins and outs of it, I’m not part of the financial team,” the former Scotland skipper said. Even for the guys that don’t know him that well, there’s an emotional connection.
