World Club Series: Wigan Warriors head coach Shaun Wane insists the Super League will impress

Wigan Warriors head coach Shaun Wane insists the Super League sides are determined to put on a good spectacle at the newly-expanded World Club Series.

Wane believes the new format - which now involves six teams - will benefit the clubs involved and is keen for Wigan to uphold their strong record in the competition.

Wigan will take on Brisbane Broncos on Saturday (7pm) but the spotlight will also fall on two other Lancashire sides, Warrington and St Helens.

Wolves entertain St George Illawarra Dragons at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Friday (8pm) while St Helens face South Sydney Rabbitohs on Sunday (7pm).

Wane admits there is a fierce rivalry between the NRL and the Super League but is hopeful the latter will come out on top over the three matches this weekend.

“I am really pleased they have tried to expand it and get some more clubs involved this season, so I think the World Club challenge means a lot to our club," he said.

"Our history with this competition is fantastic. There is a lot of pressure on the English teams to make sure we do that for Super League and the same pressure for NRL teams. It’s got the makings of three really exciting games.

“I am convinced we have got the best sport in the world and I want everybody to see what a great sport we have got and what a great spectacle we can put on.

“I am sure all three teams St Helens, Warrington and Wigan, all Lancashire clubs as well, which we are very proud of, if they can put on a very good spectacle for us, I will be really proud.”
