Sky Sports to show SIX hours of Leeds Rhinos games on Easter Saturday

Sky Sports will show six hours of highlights from Leeds Rhinos games on Easter Saturday.

The indefinite suspension of the Super League season due to the coronavirus means there will be no traditional live Easter fixtures, with Sky Sports instead choosing to fill the time with highlights from previous seasons.

On Good Friday there were a total of 11 classic Good Friday games shown, with full coverage of Wigan’s 2003 win over St Helens supplemented by highlights from other derbies including Hull FC v Hull KR and Castleford v Wakefield.

Now on Easter Saturday they will show a selection of Leeds Rhinos highlights from the past 18 months, headlined by full coverage of the joint Rob Burrow and Jamie Jones-Buchanan Testimonial fundraiser.

Accompanying that will be highlights from selected fixtures from the Rhinos’ 2019 season, which saw them finish eighth with 12 wins from 29 games, as well as two from this season.
