If she can sing, then I doubt they'll be a dry eye in the house.

Spread the word, get in your seats nice and early and everybody sing along!

Awesome, top idea.

Now and again the RFL do some thing right and this is great well done

Hats off the RFL! And good luck to Lizzie Jones.

Brilliant.

For all the slagging off this sport gets every once in a while the powers that be pull off a blinder. This is one of those times.

Spot on. As long as she's a good enough singer then it's a fantastic move.

Things like this remind me that we do actually have a special sport, despite its other failings. Makes me proud to be associated with Rugby League.

Wales international Jones died from a heart problem after collapsing during a match against London Skolars in May.

The 29-year-old's widow, [sizea professional singer[/size, will sing the traditional cup final anthem before Hull Kingston Rovers face Leeds Rhinos on 29 August. '"

I would imagine they've heard her singing before offering her the gig, just to be sure she could do it.

She might not end up being the strongest vocals to have ever sung it but I'm sure it'll be of good enough standard and will probably be the most emotional/memorable rendition. I can't remember who sang it last year, but I'll remember who sang it this year.

Will make a special occasion even more amazing.
