Russell Crowe has called on rugby fans to “go to Wembley” and celebrate the life of Rob Burrow at the Challenge Cup final on Saturday 8 June.
The Australian actor, 60, described the late Burrow as a “little champion” and urged fans to pay tributes at the stadium.
This weekend’s Challenge Cup final sees Warrington Wolves and Wigan Warriors battle at Wembley, where there will also be a minute’s applause for Burrow.
Kick-off will be delayed until 3:07pm to reflect the number the player wore during his career with Leeds Rhinos.
Burrow died on 2 June, aged 41, after a battle with Motor Neurone Disease.
