The semi-finals of the Challenge Cup are upon us and it’s the St Helens-Wigan derby first up on Saturday afternoon.
Both sides come into this fixture on the back of victories – but in very different circumstances.
Whilst Wigan emphatically beat rivals Warrington Wolves, Saints were made to work extremely hard to come away with the two points against the Salford Red Devils.
