Leeds Rhinos have decided not to postpone their match at Harlequins on 12 June despite missing four players on international duty.

Ryan Hall, Danny McGuire, Jamie Peacock and Kevin Sinfield all play for England against France on the same day.

Under Rugby Football League regulations, the Rhinos have the right to postpone the fixture.

"We have every faith our squad will rise to the challenge," Rhinos chief executive Gary Hetherington said.

"It was right that we explored all avenues to make sure we were making the right decision for our club.

"We want to finish the season as high as possible in the league table and every league point will be vital given the competitive nature of this year's campaign.

"Harlequins are always a tough opponent on their own ground and we know it will be a big challenge for us."
