Wigan Warriors: Who played in the first-ever Super League game against Catalans Dragons?

Wigan Warriors take on last year’s Grand Finalists Catalans Dragons in Perpignan this weekend.

The trip to the South of France has become a normal part of the schedule for Super League teams, since the club joined the competition more than 15 years ago.

Wigan were the first club to face them in February 2006.

The game took place at the Stade Aime Giral, and it was one to forget for Ian Millward’s side, as they lost 38-30.

Here is the Wigan team from that day:
