Kevin Sinfield called Rob Burrow 'the toughest and bravest man I have ever met' as he paid tribute to his friend and former Leeds Rhinos team-mate after his death at the age of 41. Leeds announced on Sunday evening that their former scrum-half had passed away after a four-and-a-half-year battle with motor neurone disease. Sinfield and Burrow have raised more than £15million for MND charities since Burrow's diagnosis in 2019, two years after he retired from playing.
' In December last year Sinfield ran seven ultra-marathons in as many days across seven different cities, crossing the finishing line at The Mall in London after 27-mile routes in Leeds, Cardiff, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Dublin and Brighton. Peacock on Burrow: A peerless giant in terms of characterJamie Peacock, another of Burrow's former Leeds team-mates, wrote on Instagram: 'We all knew this day was coming, it was always going to be too soon and none of us wanted to think about it.
