Warrington and Wigan Wembley clash can prove fitting Rob

Emotions swirl around Saturday’s Challenge Cup final and a classic between two old rugby league rivals could ensue

Given the incredible scale of fundraising efforts in his name, it has been easy to forget that Rob Burrow achieved plenty as a rugby league player. On the pitch arguably his greatest feat was being an integral part of the Leeds Rhinos side who won the domestic treble in 2015, only the third team to do so this century.

Perhaps, therefore, it is fitting that on the day rugby league comes together to celebrate the life of Burrow at Saturday’s Challenge Cup final, the two teams vying for Wembley glory will consider themselves genuine contenders to emulate the heroics of that Leeds side in which Burrow featured so prominently nine years ago.
