Warriors boosted by home advantage next February

Wigan will enjoy home advantage when they take on NRL champions St George Illawarra in the 2011 World Club Challenge. The annual clash of the champions will be held in England for the 12th successive year with the DW Stadium playing host after plans to stage it at Bolton's Reebok Stadium were shelved. Wigan's first appearance in the World Club Challenge for 17 years takes place on February 27, with a 24,000 sell-out expected. Michael Maguire's Warriors were crowned Super League champions when they defeated St Helens 22-10 in the Grand Final in October.
