Former Scotland and British and Irish Lions head coach Ian McGeechan has urged rugby players and all younger men to get themselves tested after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

The 78-year-old, who is currently consultant director of rugby at Doncaster, led Scotland to the Five Nations Grand Slam in 1990 and oversaw series victories as the Lions boss in 1989 and 1997.
