Wigan are in Las Vegas to play Warrington in a Super League fixture on foreign soil.

The match is just a part of a quadruple-header that will also feature two NRL fixtures and a women’s Test match between England and Australia .

The Warriors and Warrington will be backed by around 10,000 English fans in a crowd expected to approach 50,000 .
