SEVEN IN SEVEN FOR KEVIN

THE biggest cheer at the Rugby League World Cup final came when Kevin Sinfield arrived to a hero’s welcome.

The ex-Leeds and England captain has raised more than £1.7million for motor neurone disease with his latest remarkable challenge.

At the interval of Australia’s win over Samoa, he told the crowd of 67,502 he “just wanted to be a great friend” by fundraising to find a cure.

In the earlier women’s final, defending champions Australia eased past New Zealand 54-4.
