It’s Super League Rivals Round with some of the biggest games in the sport played this weekend, and here’s details on how and when to watch each match.
Good Friday has plenty of historical and religious background but for Super League fans, it’s also a very significant day as it’s derby day and this year is more significant than normal.
That’s because there won’t just be two but three huge derbies played with Hull KR versus Hull FC kicking off earliest, followed by an afternoon clash between St Helens and Wigan Warriors, with Friday then topped off by the returning derby between Bradford Bulls and Leeds Rhinos.
Those games are just three of seven Super League games that can be watched this weekend, whilst there is also a slate of eight NRL matches that run all the way into Easter Monday.
Whilst the NRL action starts on Thursday, there are no Super League games today with the first matches being the aforementioned trio of games on Good Friday. Three more follow on Saturday with Huddersfield hosting York, Warrington facing Leigh and the French derby rounding the evening off.
Sunday then sees Castleford Tigers and Wakefield Trinity face off as the seventh and final game of Super League Rivals Round but the action does not stop then, as Monday sees Parramatta host Wests Tigers in the early hours of Monday morning in the UK.
