Wigan Warriors scored eight tries in a 48-24 rout of Warrington Wolves in an historic Super League game at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
With over 50,000 fans set to pack into the event as the NRL, Super League and international women’s rugby league combined, it was Warrington and Wigan who got the party started, but the Warriors were having all the fun, tries from Tyler Dupree, Abbas Miski, Bevan French and Harry Smith, plus four conversions from Adam Keighran, giving them a dominant 24-0 lead at half-time.
Wigan picked up in the second half where they had left off in the first, silky tries from Jai Field, Jake Wardle, Luke Thompson and Liam Marshall cementing their advantage as Keighran’s brilliance with the boot continued.

Warrington enjoyed a late purple patch and managed to hit back with consolation tries from Arron Lindop, James Harrison and Matt Dufty, plus a sensational final-moment 100-metre effort from Matty Ashton, but it was too little too late for Sam Burgess’ side who were left licking their wounds on the world stage.
