The Huddersfield Giants’ home Super League clash against London Broncos has a new date.

The John Smith’s Stadium fixture was originally due to be staged on Sunday, June 22 (3pm).

But in order for the Giants to have an extra day’s preparation for the Sky TV trip to Hull KR the following Thursday, the match will now take place 24 hours earlier also with a 3pm start).

“The move has been made to allow a safer preparation time for the players ahead of the following game which Sky has chosen to televise at Hull KR on the Thursday,” explained Giants managing director Richard Thewlis.

“I trust you will all appreciate the need for this change which is entirely related to ensuring the welfare of our players.”
