Leeds Rhinos Academy (24) vs Wigan Warriors Academy (28)
Wigan Warriors' Head of Youth Shane Eccles has been in touch with a match report of this recent hard fought victory. "A very tough contest between two strong sides. First half half was a very tight affair, with both sides playing some excellent Rugby. Leeds had a man sent off just on the stroke of half time which seemed to energise them going into the second half. Leeds came out firing with a nothing to lose mentality. A very entertaining second half finished with Wigan taking the spoils. This was a great game to help prepare for a semi final next weekend. Man of the Match - Taylor Kerr." |
