A special night is in store at Headingley Stadium as the Rhinos pay tribute to Rob Burrow.
A fan observes tributes left to ex- Leeds Rhinos and England rugby league player Rob Burrow ahead of the Betfred Super League match between Leeds Rhinos and Leigh Leopards at Headingley Stadium on June 21, 2024, in Leeds, England.
Burrow passed away with MND earlier this month at the age of 31. This is Leeds' first game back at Headingley since his passing and falls, fittingly, on MND Global Awareness Day. Sky Sports will be playing a big part in the tribute as part of their coverage of the match. They have worked with the Rhinos to provide a show that is also audience friendly for those in attendance.
We've just had an opera singer perform, resulting in a fruther rapturous applause around Headingley. This is a time of incredible sadness, but this really is a proving to be a great celebration of the man who provided so many great moments here.Geoff Burrow, a man very clearly grieving, has spent the majority of his interview thanking people for all of their support and fundraising. He's rightfully getting a standing ovation as he walks around Headingley.
