The 745 Game line-up 2025: Confirmed teams including Celebrity Traitors star Joe Marler

Rugby league and rugby union stars of old will be on show at Kingsholm Stadium on Sunday in The 745 Game.

The charity match, which is a tribute to Rob Burrow (no. 7), Ed Slater (no. 4), and Doddie Weir (no. 5), returns for a second year to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease.

Though the event brings the two sides of the sport together, make no mistake about it, this weekend's 13-a-side, cross-code showdown will be union v league.
