Fantastic news !, can only be a positive. I actually hope Spain make the World Cup.

Brilliant! I think 30,000 is a realistic target. 10k travelling down from Perpignan. 10-15k locals. 5-10k travelling Wigan fans.

RL needs more events or publicity stunts if you will like this. Wouldn’t mind seeing a double header at Anfield or the etihad involving Wigan, saints, wire and another. Maybe Leeds.

Turn magic weekend into a 9s comp but retain the extra league game magic produced and play 3 double header games "on the road"

We can't have a 9s world cup & 9s in the Commonwealth games and not have somekind of domestic 9s comp..the NRL 9s & SL 9s will do

Really great to see FFRXIII throwing all its weight behind the event. All French League matches scheduled for that day have been postponed so that all French fans can travel down for the match if they want to. This could be huge!! I really hope so!!
