As long as rugby is played, the league v union debate will rage on. Legends of the two codes will go head-to-head this weekend in The 745 Game \u2013 albeit for a good cause.<\/p>\n
The charity match returns for a third year, this time at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, which is the home of Leicester Tigers, to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease.<\/p>\n
Created in tribute to Rob Burrow (no. 7), Ed Slater (no. 4), and Doddie Weir (no. 5) and born from an idea first discussed by Burrow and Slater, all proceeds from The 745 Game go to their three respective foundations \u2013 the Rob Burrow Discretionary Trust, 4ED Foundation, and My Name’s Doddie Foundation.<\/p>\n
It may bring both rugby communities together but make no mistake, both Team Slater, which is made up of former rugby union players, and Team Burrow, which is a host of famous faces from rugby league, will be desperate to come out on top in the 13-a-side modified-rules exhibition match.<\/p>\n
Celebrity Traitors<\/a> star Joe Marler, his former England teammate Ben Youngs, and Great Britain icon Adrian Morley are set to lace up their boots, but who else will be taking to the pitch at Welford Road?<\/p>\n
