Wigan Warriors and Leigh Leopards will play their rearranged Super League match on a TUESDAY, it has been confirmed. The round two fixture did not take place at the time due to the Warriors' involvement in the World Club Challenge, leaving the clubs looking for a date to play the game in the future.

It has now been revealed it will take place on August 6th which will see both teams play three times in eleven days. As part of Super League's fixture announcements for the beginning of August, it has been confirmed both teams will play the Tuesday before, with Leigh travelling to Castleford Tigers and Wigan hosting Huddersfield.

They will then play each other on the Tuesday before returning to action at the weekend. Wigan will actually play three times in ten days, travelling to Leeds Rhinos on the Saturday, while Leigh will play Hull FC on the Sunday.
