- Wigan 34-12 Leeds
- Controversial first-half try swings momentum to the hosts
Jai Field scored a hat-trick of tries as Wigan made it two wins from two at the start of the Betfred Super League season with a 34-12 win over Leeds. The opening 40 minutes was a bruising affair and Wigan had to come from behind to hold a slender 12-6 lead at the break.
Blake Austin marked his Rhinos debut with a brilliant solo effort to put Leeds up by six but the Warriors were handed a lifeline when Field grabbed the first of his three tries in controversial circumstances. It looked as if the scores would be level at the break but, in a moment of magic, Field waltzed over on the hooter.
