Leeds Rhinos will wear a special kit in tribute to Doddie Weir in their Magic Weekend game against Castleford in Newcastle next month.Rhinos legend Rob Burrow was diagnosed with MND in 2019 and the club say Weir became a "mentor" to him. Weir, who won 61 rugby union caps for Scotland, won the Premiership title with Newcastle Falcons 25 years ago.
The shirt design incorporates the tartan that Weir became well-known for sporting and features the former British and Irish Lions man's details on the inside collar along with a quote from Rob Burrow on the reverse of the collar saying "Thanks for showing us the way". Along both sleeves is a quote from Weir that reads, "Whatever your situation, make the most you can of each and every day. Be nice to people, and laugh as much as possible."Top Stories
