Kyle had played against Danny and told Newsbeat he wanted to do something to help.

"I thought about my own family, knowing how the rugby community are and that they would support me."

"It's only a haircut."

Since then he says the response "has been fantastic".

Huddersfield Giants player Craig Huby followed suit and reached for the clippers.
