The Wigan Warriors are gearing up for the immense task of representing the Super League on a global stage as they prepare to face off against the Warrington Wolves in Las Vegas on March 1, with the match set to be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
This showdown between local rivals will take place at the Allegiant Stadium, marking a significant moment for rugby league as it ventures into the American market in search of a new fan base.
While the game itself will offer two crucial competition points as part of the Super League calendar, Wigan head coach Matt Peet understands that there is much more at stake than just the result on the scoreboard.
Both teams are determined to not only put on a fierce battle on the field, but also to collaborate in showcasing the best that Super League has to offer.
"I am absolutely buzzing for this opportunity.
It's a testament to the forward-thinking mindset of both Wigan and Warrington for organizing this event," Peet expressed.
"Now it's up to us to not only deliver a top-quality game, but to truly highlight the excitement and skill of the Super League to the world.
We need to seize every chance that comes the way and tackle this challenge head on."
