More than a sport - Leeds Rhinos stars in video tribute to rugby league

The video has been produced by Rugby Football League partner Ronseal and also includes interviews with Rhinos chief executive Gary Hetherington and members of the East Leeds community club, including Castleford Tigers and England star Kelsey Gentles.

Kristie Blackford-Mills, brand manager at Ronseal UK, said: “We are delighted to see the return of the sport following the uncertainty of recent months.

“Rugby league is the heartbeat of many local communities in the UK and our visit to Leeds Rhinos allows us to hear first-hand the stories of those who have had to navigate the difficulties of the past few months, as well as underlining Ronseal’s ongoing support.”

In the video, Sam Horner, of Rhinos’ foundation, reveals how volunteers supported vulnerable people in the city during the coronavirus lockdown and Rhinos player Danielle Anderson discusses her work in a residential and dementia care home during the crisis.
