Bevan French has shared his excitement at the announcement that Wigan Warriors will face Warrington Wolves in Las Vegas next season.

The historic clash, which will see the Betfred Super League competition take place in the United States for the first time in March 2025, was confirmed by senior representatives of both clubs at Manchester’s Hard Rock Cafe on Tuesday morning.

Sharing his excitement at the press conference, French said: “You always have aspirations as a player so it’s exciting to be given the platform and opportunity to grow your game.

“It’s something that hopefully years from now you can tell your grandchildren about – that you played your first Super League game in Las Vegas. It’s definitely a privilege.”

The match, which will form a key part of the NRL’s Las Vegas Festival of Rugby, will be the first of four matches that Allegiant Stadium will host in one day – to be followed by two NRL matches and a clash between England Women and Australia Women.
