Flamboyant Salford wing Tex Evans dances in celebration after scoring in the Lancashire Cup Final #OnThisDay 1988. In a cracking game, Wigan clung on to win 22-17 with all their points coming from Kiwi stars Bell, Shelford & Kevin Iro. Salford were left ruing missed goal kicks

Brothers Ces & Ken Mountford shake hands before Wigan's match with New Zealand #OnThisDay 1947. Ken scored the winner as the Kiwis won 10-8 before a 22,000 crowd. Tragically, Ken Mountford would be one of 19 men who died in the 1967 Strongman Mine gas explosion aged just 42.

Wigan Overseas Players #70: Andre Stoop (Namibia) A fast, unorthodox RU full back who joined Wigan whilst touring the UK with his national side. Made 16 first team appearances before joining London & Keighley. Unfairly remembered for an error in the 1992 World Club Challenge.

Wigan ran in 16 tries in a 68-0 thrashing of Belle Vue Rangers #OnThisDay 80 years ago. Kiwi try machine Brian Nordgren (below) crossed for 5. The 2 teams met again in the Lancashire Cup Final 7 days later & unexpectedly, the game was much closer with Wigan scraping a 9-3 win.

Wigan beat Whitehaven 39-16 at Central Park #OnThisDay 1958.Billy Boston scored his customary hat-trick but the match was notable as the 530th & final game of Ernie Ashcroft's Wigan career as he left to become Huddersfield's player coach. The classy centre signed off with 2 tries

Two tries and then 9/13 by foot, and England's Isabel Rowe has set a new record for points by a single player in a women's Rugby League World Cup game.
And on the back of that powerhouse performance, England demolish Wales 70-6.
