All four have been confirmed to feature in the match, which is a joint fundraiser for Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Rob Burrow, following the announcement that Burrow has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Jones-Buchanan said: “I have always talked about the deep sadness that I had because I was unable, through injury, to play in Kev’s final game and this is a wonderful gesture by him in support of Rob Burrow.

Sinfield added: “I swore I would never play a game of rugby again after I retired but how can I say no to two of my greatest friends.
