England v NZ at Wigan sells out

The Third Test between England and New Zealand has been confirmed as a sell-out, with a capacity crowd confirmed at Wigan’s DW Stadium.

This weekend’s Second Test at the Olympic Stadium is now spectators’ only chance to get to one of the games of the series, which opened with an England win at Hull on Sunday.

“The atmosphere and crowd at Hull on Sunday was just what we needed to kick the series off. To hear that DW Stadium has now sold out is even better,” said England coach Steve McNamara.

“Over 43,000 tickets have now been sold for London and that figure is increasing by the day. Fans want to be at the big events and they don’t come much more bigger than these three games.

“Not only are the best rugby league players on show, but some of the finest athletes in the world.

“The first game was just a taste of what is to come between these two extremely talented and entertaining sides. We’re going show everyone how good England are in the capital and win this series.”
