WATCH: Ireland rugby team sing to Dáire Gorman during special squad visit

A young boy with an extremely rare condition has been welcomed to the Ireland camp ahead of this weekend's Six Nations game against Wales. 

Dáire Gorman - who is missing femur bones in his legs and was born without arms - has Crommelin Syndrome, a condition which affects just a handful of people worldwide. 

He became known all across Ireland and around the world when a touching video of a meeting with Liverpool FC players went viral. 

This morning (February 20), he attended the High Performance Centre (HPC) at Sport Ireland where the Irish rugby team sang to him ahead of their big game on Saturday. 

Irish Rugby's X (formerly Twitter) account posted footage of the meeting, describing it as "a magical morning". 

In the clip, coach Andy Farrell can be heard saying, "We all recognise that he touched everyone's hearts when we saw him go to his beloved club Liverpool, I can forgive you actually because I'm a Man City supporter." 

The video has since racked up thousands of views. 

When asked who the Diaz of the Irish rugby team is, Dáire said, "I'd say Bundi Aki." 

The team can then be heard singing to him as Bundi approaches Dáire with a wide smile. 

He said, "I watched my nation play rugby and watched the World Cup last year, I watched every game, every game, it means everything to me." 

Farrell said, "The courage you have and the positivity you have and how you live your life is an example to all of us, so thanks very much for coming. Make sure you enjoy yourself. "
