Rugby League fans and players honour Rob Burrow ahead of the Challenge Cup final between Wigan and Warrington at Wembley following his passing at the age of 41 after a five-year battle with MND

Rugby League paid tribute to the late Rob Burrow ahead of the Challenge Cup final between Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves at Wembley on Saturday.

Burrow passed away last weekend at the age of 41 after a five-year battle with motor neurone disease (MND).

Burrow won two Challenge Cups with Leeds Rhinos during his glittering career, and ahead of Saturday’s final both players took to the pitch in shirts to raise awareness of MND.

Fans and players then observed a minute’s silence to commemorate the great Rugby League.
