A minute’s silence will be observed before both the men’s and women’s Challenge Cup finals.

Saturday’s Betfred Challenge Cup final between Wigan and Warrington will kick-off at 3.07pm in honour of former Leeds Rhinos scrum-half Rob Burrow.

A statement read: “Following Burrow’s death at the age of 41 last Sunday, supporters will be able to leave tributes at the Rugby League Statue outside Wembley Stadium from 9.45am on Saturday morning – offering the opportunity to fans of all clubs to show their appreciation and admiration for his courage and humanity, as so many Leeds devotees have done already at AMT Headingley.

Money raised has funded the Rob Burrow Centre for MND at Seacroft Hospital, Leeds, and Burrow’s family attended an emotional groundbreaking ceremony on Monday.
