Wire were 'better side' in cup final loss
Head coach Sam Burgess felt his Warrington Wolves side were "the better side" despite suffering late heartbreak in the Challenge Cup final.A late try from Tom Davies and Mikey Lewis' conversion gave Hull Kingston Rovers a narrow 8-6 victory at Wembley Stadium, but Burgess said he was proud of his team's performance."It's tough for the players," Burgess told BBC Sport. "I thought that we were good today and executed our game plan well."We were physical when we needed to be and I thought we were the better side - I really do."It's going to be a tough one for the guys to take. I don't have a great deal to say because I was proud of our performance and the end of the game was a bit of a blow for me really." Burgess also revealed that the defeat was compounded by a facial fracture for winger Matt Dufty which will now see him miss a chunk of the Super League season."Matt Dufty broke his cheek or eye socket with about 25 minutes to go and was trying to get to the end of the game, but it just popped out," said Burgess."We'll be without Duft for a little while but it was outstanding to try to play through the pain. It's just unfortunate we didn't get the job done for him."Burgess has the job of lifting his players before next weekend's trip to Leeds Rhinos, a game they need to win to stay in the mix for the top six places in the Super League table."We will take some hard lessons out of today," he said. "I'll be OK but the players put a lot of effort in so emotionally it's going to be a tough couple of days for them but it's their job."We have to bounce back, we have to find a way and move forward." Wolves to support Lindop Wire half-back Marc Sneyd was in the unusual position of being awarded the Lance Todd Trophy for his man-of-the-match performance despite ending on the losing side, but he said "I don't really want it to be honest".He said the Wolves players would rally around 19-year-old Arron Lindop, who allowed a grubber kick to squirm under his body, with Davies touching it down to level the scores late on before Lewis' winning goal."We were very, very unfortunate and I feel for [Arron] Lindop," said Sneyd. "We'll get round him and sort him out out. It is what it is."It'd part and parcel of it. To him that will be the end of the world but you live and learn and he will be better for it."They (Hull KR) know how to play for 80 minutes and unfortunately we played for 78 today."

Fans stunned at empty stadium for Andorra vs England with Lionesses' game vs Spain at same stadium hosting TWICE as many
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THOMAS TUCHEL'S England side attracted just half the support garnered by the Lionesses as the Three Lions played in RCDE Stadium. England's men took on Andorra in the La Liga Stadium on Saturday afternoon, seeing 6,945 England fans make the trip for the World Cup qualifier. 4 The RDCE Stadium looked empty as England played Andorra Credit: Getty 4 England's stars had few fans cheering them on Credit: PA 4 Sparse supporters were dotted around the stands Credit: Getty The RCDE stadium, home of Spanish side Espanyol, looked noticeably empty during the match between England's men and Andorra. Sparse pockets of fans spread across the stands in Barcelona with just shy of 7,000 tickets sold to England fans for the match inside the 40,000-seat stadium. That is just half of the 14,000 fans that piled into the same stadium to watch England Women take on Spain in the Nations League on Tuesday - a match the Lionesses ultimately lost 2-1 as they prepare for this summer's Euros. Fans online were quick to notice how empty the stadium looked, reacting on social media.

While another added: "I'm sure everyone is having a lovely time in Barcelona, but a half empty stadium does look rubbish". A third asked: "Why is the stadium so empty?" And a fourth posted: "Must be weird for the England players playing in an empty stadium, looks like an U21 game." 4 England Women played Spain in front of a much larger crowd at the RDCE Stadium on Tuesday Credit: Shutterstock Editorial CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS It's no surprise that the stadium wasn't packed with Andorra fans, with the 40,000 capacity roughly the same as half of the nation's entire population. The match, which is considered as Andorra's home fixture, should have been played at Andorra's national stadium but was moved to Barcelona - a three hour drive through the Pyrenees. England star Ivan Toney hits back at Bruno Fernandes with blunt reply after Man Utd star's Saudi transfer snub That's because Andorra's Estadi Nacional in Andorra la Vella holds just 3,000 fans, meaning a move to Espanyol's ground accommodated even more supporters for the clash. Andorra are moving into a new stadium in the town of Encamp which hosts 5,600 fans, but the ground wasn't ready in time for this fixture to be arranged there.
