Wigan won 62-6 when they last met in September. Having not won any of the trophies on offer last season, they will be looking to start with a big win. Castleford have some exciting backs but will not be able to live with the powerful Wigan forwards. A Wigan win is likely.

Italy played well last week and were able to hold on for a narrow victory against Scotland. Ireland were outplayed for much of their match against France but still had a period in which they scored two converted tries.
