Super League rivals round confirmed as old foes meet

Super League has launched details of its rivals round - and sell-out crowds appear to be a reality.

The competition has confirmed that the games will take place in round 20, between August 19/22nd

It will see a number of rivalries restored and, crucially, with the prospect of crowds.

Boris Johnson's roadmap for the country outlined a hope that social distancing rules will be lifted on June 21st, almost two months before some of Super League's biggest games take place.

Though the June date set out has been defined as a best-case scenario, there is firm hope that fans will be allowed back in grounds by August. All six games have been pencilled in to take place at the individual grounds.

Super League has recently had the round take place over the Easter weekend, but to bolster the chances of capacity attendances, have moved it back to the summer.

Wigan Warriors will host St Helens while the Hull derby will also take place.

Two West Yorkshire derbies; Wakefield versus Castleford and Leeds against Huddersfield, will also be on the billing.

Salford will play newly-promoted Leigh while Warrington will play Catalans in the sixth fixture of the weekend. Dates for all six games have yet to be revealed.

Super League will confirm its entire schedule for the season on Friday.
