The Burrow family has adopted a no-crying policy. It's a difficult question to ask when its most popular member, Rob Burrow, has debilitating motor neurone disease (MND) has claimed both their lives. Rob, 41, has captured people's hearts with his humor, tenacity, and indefatigable spirit ever since his illness in 2019. The picture of him being picked up from his wheelchair and carried across the finish line at the Leeds Marathon by fellow Leeds Rhino legend and childhood friend Kevin Sinfield last year brought the nation to tears. But not the Burrow sisters. For the first time, answering how their little brother's illness has affected them, Jo Hartshorne, 49, and Claire Burnett, 44, say they quickly adopted Rob and his wife Lindsey's no-nonsense attitude in order to get by.

The King's sister added, 'That requires concerted effort from both private sector and civil society.' 'Hopefully together we'll continue to create a future in which the dignity and well-being of every person is protected against exploitation.'

Steve Borthwick seeks clarity but instead there's confusion, writes CHRIS FOY: It's anyone's guess what England's plan will be for his 20th match in charge against hot favourites Ireland

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 3, 2024
CHRIS FOY: England seems to have crossed the road as they brace for a showdown with Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday. They have reached a difficult junction, in fact, all the lights are off, and they don't have a map. When Steve Borthwick took over the national team in December 2022, the buzz word was 'clarity,' and that was achieved with a narrow game-plan at the new World Cup.

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 20, 2024
England is gearing up for a confrontation on Saturday, with Manu Tuilagi, Ollie Lawrence, and George Martin all involved, giving the visitors more firepower in a 'cauldron' of Murrayfield hostility. The national team will travel north to win their first victory over Scotland in four years, regain the Calcutta Cup, and keep their title challenge alive in this year's Six Nations. England will be boosted by the return from injury of three hard-hitting, hard-carrying assets - two in midfield and one up front, having lost clout in their opening victories over Italy and Wales. Kevin Sinfield, the assistant coach, set the tone for what would be a game between Tuilagi, Lawrence, Martin and their colleagues in Edinburgh. There's bound to be some niggle,' he said. If you have two angry, sarcastic forward packs trying to fight each other, there will be some niggle.'

In the Six Nations match, Wales promises to pile the pressure on England... as coach Alex King calls for a 'no-fear' strategy at Twickenham

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 6, 2024
The Six Nations rookies in Wales have been told they should arrive in Twickenham with a no-fear attitude, but they also warned that there will not be any repeats of their first-half performance against Scotland. After beginning their 2024 Championship with a dazzling but ultimately losing fashion, Warren Gatland's team heads up the M4 for a meeting with their oldest and bitterest rivals England on Saturday. Wales scored 26 points in a row last weekend at Principality Stadium, bringing an inch closer to what would have been a landmark Six Nations comeback. Before waking up, they had already conceded 27 points, including 20 in the first half, and the problem was not that complicated.

Prince William returns to work tomorrow for first time since Kate and King Charles's health scares - with Kensington Palace 'announcing news as part of plan to reassure public ahead of his father's cancer diagnosis'

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 6, 2024
Since returning to take care of his wife and children after Kate was admitted to the hospital, the Prince of Wales is expected to return to public life. William, who has two events on Wednesday, had 'cleared his diary' to help his family as Kate - who was released from hospital last Monday - recovered from planned abdominal surgery. She and her children were reunited just over two weeks after her operation at The London Clinic on January 16. The King was treated for an enlarged prostate at the same hospital, and he was released on the same day as Kate. The princess's exact conditions have yet to be revealed, but the Palace has said it is not cancer-related, and Kate wishes her personal medical information to remain private. Princess of Wales, 42, is not expected to return to official duties until after Easter. Earlier today, it was announced that William would return to duties earlier than expected, ahead of King Charles' diagnosis.

After England's win over Italy, England head coach Steve Borthwick has reason to be optimistic given the super Ethan Roots' and attacking aspirations

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 4, 2024
CHIRS FOY: England started their 2024 Six Nations campaign with a win, putting an end to the team's trail of 10-0 in the first half after four years of defeats. Monty Ioane's last-play attempt gave Italy a well-deserved losing bonus point. But the tourists had been aiming for a decisive strike at the other end just moments before, and the margin might have been 17 points rather than three. Borthwick will lead a rapid review process at Surrey's national squad's Surrey headquarters before turning his attention to the showdown with Wales at Twickenham on Saturday. After a game which saw five English newcomers make victorious debuts, there was plenty for the head coach and his staff to ponder; reasons for optimism and causes for concern…

CHIRIS FOY IN GIRONA: Marcus Smith has been ruled out of England's Six Nations opener against Italy on Saturday with a calf injury and is awaiting further medical examination in the event of further questions regarding his potential return date. On Monday, the 24-year-old Harlequins fly-half limped out of training and was on crutches when he returned to the team hotel in northern Spain. At first, head coach Steve Borthwick and his staff hoped that it was a false alarm, but that hope faded as a scan revealed joint damage. Asked for an update about the man who was the front-runner to start at ten for England in the Italian capital, skills coach Kevin Sinfield said: He will not be able to attend this weekend.' It's a calf injury. The scan results have been published, but we are waiting for a second opinion on the scan. We'll know more when we do.'

Kate's empowering portrayal of Prince William from REBECCA ENGLISH's deeply personal portrait of him, as she knows she'll bend heaven and Earth to help his wife

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 18, 2024
We're sure a lot of our Royal Family will be there, and rightly so. They're in an extraordinary position in our national life, one that comes with a great deal of wealth (and a generous amount of financial compensation). It's why many of us want them to be the embodiment of the country's "keep calm and carry on" campaign, the last vestige of the British muscular upper lip. However, every now and then something that reminds us that they are human, and that behind the scenes they may be facing the same challenges as the rest of us. It was surprising on Wednesday that not one, but two, of our senior royals are suffering serious health problems that necessitate hospitalization.

Rob Burrows, his friend and former colleague, died of the disease at the start of November, and the England rugby union defence coach revealed his fourth and 'toughest' challenge to raise concerns of the condition, which has seen him run over 27 miles in Leeds, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Brighton before reaching the capital.

The reshuffle by Steve Borthwick has raised concerns about Richard Wigglesworth and Kevin Sinfield's futures in England, with Felix Jones expected to join in January after assisting South Africa in winning the World Cup

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 15, 2023
As Steve Borthwick thinks about putting together plans for the next four-year World Cup cycle, England's impending coaching change is contributing to confusion and potential upheaval. With the dust now settled on the 2023 campaign in France, which culminated in an honorable third-place finish, head coach Borthwick is planning the team's future in the face of rumors of tension behind the scenes. With Irishman Felix Jones set to be integrated into the Red Rose set-up in January, it is likely that not one but two current assistants will be moving forward. Leicester has heard from reliable sources that they are still worried that Dan McKellar, the current head coach, will be sent back to Australia to take over the Wallabies, replacing Eddie Jones, who resigned earlier this month. That will open a Tigers' vacancy, and Richard Wigglesworth is expected to return to Welford Road, having served as England's attack coach at the recent World Cup and preceding summer camp.

Kevin Sinfield, a rugby hardman, was carried by millions of people over a finish line by a marathon finish line, as rugby hardman Kevin Sinfield carried his old colleague Rob Burrow. The pair also tell how Rob's motor neuron disorder has strengthened their love in a conversation that might break your hearts all over again

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 6, 2023
The tenderness of the gesture touched a nation's hearts when England rugby coach Kevin Sinfield carried his former colleague Rob Burrow across the finishing line of the inaugural Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon in May. Rob, who has motor neuron disorder (MND), was led round the course in his wheelchair. Kevin, Leeds Rhinos rugby league captain, ran the 26.2 miles. Kevin scooped his old friend up in his arms, cradling his frail body like a teenager's, gave him a little kiss and carried him to the finish line together. The act revealed a great deal about trust, courage, and perseverance that adversity can bring: that two men who had won virtually every award in the most competitive of sports, who had competed for club and country, may have demonstrated their softness, making us feel the power of brotherhood at its best.
