For both sides involved in tonight’s Sky Sports game, the international break came at the wrong time.
Hull FC finally ended a seven game losing run by shocking Huddersfield Giants before the league went on a break to allow England to meet France.
Meanwhile, before the international break Wigan looked like the side most likely to dethrone Champions St Helens.
Their form had been sensational defeating the Saints prior to a win over then league leaders Warrington Wolves.
Then their win over Wakefield Trinity last time out saw them move top of the league.
They then had six players star for England three of which scored in the shape of Harry Smith, Jake Wardle and Ethan Havard.
