Warrington and Wigan will both field strong sides for the Paul Wood testimonial match at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Wednesday.

The only Wolves players missing are winger Chris Hicks and hooker Jon Clarke, who are both recovering from close-season surgery.

The home side will give winger Chris Riley, England centre Chris Bridge and back row forward Vinnie Anderson their first runs of the pre-season.

Former Bradford scrum-half Paul Deacon will debut for Wigan after being included in their 20-man squad, from which Michael Mcllorum and Phil Bailey are the only absent regulars.

The match, which will mark Wigan-born Wood's 10 years at Warrington, is the final outing for both teams before the new engage Super League season gets underway.
