The two English clubs will take part in the first ever double-header games between Super League and NRL teams at a single venue the following week when Hull FC play St George Illawarra Dragons and Wigan Warriors take on South Sydney Rabbitohs at the ANZ Stadium on Saturday 17 February. Sky Sports will show both fixtures LIVE on Main Event (Hull FC v St George Illawarra, kick-off 6:45am UK time. Wigan Warriors v South Sydney Rabbitohs, kick-off 8:45am).

All three games will also be broadcast on Fox Sports in Australia.
