Headingley is the home of rugby, insists Williams

Yorkshire Evening Post

November 08, 2025

He’s from Wigan and plays for Warrington Wolves, but England skipper George Williams says Leeds Rhinos’ AMT Headingley Stadium is the “home of rugby league”.

- by Peter Smith

A sell out attendance of more than 20,000 will pack the ground today to see if England can avoid an Ashes series whitewash by Australia in the third ABK Beer Test.

Williams reckons the atmosphere created by 52,000 fans at Everton FC's Hill Dickinson Stadium was better than Wembley with 60,000 in the previous week - and he expects it to go up a level this weekend.
