Rugby League
Wigan won the inaugural
Fosters World Club Challenge in 1987 with an 8-2 victory over Australian champions
Manly. Two years ago Widnes kept the title in Britain defeating the Canberra
Raiders. Wigan's Australian opponents at Anfield tonight were unknown on going to press but terrific action is guaranteed as Wigan's Aussie coach, John Monie and his captain, former Great Britain scrum-half Andy Gregory hope to mastermind another triumph. Plus rugby union - and a look ahead to tomorrow's start of the Rugby World Cup. Producer Vivien Kent
