and live on Freeview channel 276
The shirt - an alternative to Rhinos’ regular home and away kits - pays tribute to Burrow and will raise funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA).
Burrow was diagnosed with the terminal illness in December, 2019, little more than two years after playing his final game for Rhinos.

The shirt’s design includes 196 stripes on the back to represent Burrow’s tries for Leeds, 17 hoops on the front to mark the number of seasons he played for the club and 38 - his age - stripes across the chest.
Across the heart is Burrow’s iconic number seven, with the Leeds Rhinos badge at its centre.
The design has been well received by fans and Burrow’s past and present teammates, as well as the man himself.
