Challenge Cup Day: Opportunity to Honor Burrow's Legacy.

Warrington Wolves head coach Sam Burgess said the packed Challenge Cup final weekend is the perfect time to honor the late Rob Burrow.

Rugby league legend Rob Burrow, who battled motor neurone disease (MND) since 2019, passed away at 41 on Sunday. 

Burrow, a former England team-mate of Sam Burgess, will be honored during the Challenge Cup final weekend.

The Challenge Cup trophy match between Warrington and Wigan is the second game in a triple-header at Wembley on Saturday, following the Women's Challenge Cup final and preceding the 1895 Cup final.

"Hopefully we can sell the place out and really celebrate the life of Rob Burrow," Burgess told BBC Sport. "It's fitting that it's on the big stage at Wembley.

"All his achievements, not just on the field but off the field, hopefully we can celebrate them in style with a smile and remember him for the special character he was.

"Hopefully everyone puts on a great performance. There are three great matches, and we all hope to do him justice."
