Ricky Gervais takes the mick out of Stevie Ward in support of Rob Burrow

Drew Darbyshire

Comedian Ricky Gervais has ripped in to Leeds captain Stevie Ward in a video that sends best wishes Rhinos legend Rob Burrow.

Ward asked Gervais to do a nice message for Burrow, who has recently been diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

And Gervais sent a video back to Ward as he took the mick out of the Rhinos skipper in great fashion.

The fundraising page set up to support Burrow and his family during this difficult time has raised more than £285,000. To donate, click here.
