Sky Sports Rugby Leagues Barrie McDermott looks back upon Saturdays historic Super League clash in Las Vegas, recaps the rest of round three and looks ahead to round four; Sky Sports is the only place

Rugby league has returned to Las Vegas in its continuing mission to convert Americans to football without pads, drawing 50,000 fans to Allegiant stadium.

Four games of rugby league, traditionally played in the north of England and Australia, will be played in Sin City this weekend. Why?

Las Vegas, a city built around extravagance and opulence, with the blinking bright lights of giant electric billboards, garish neon signs and enormous flashing video screens, feels about as far away from the traditional northern England rugby league heartlands as its possible to get.

Rugby league returns to Las Vegas this weekend with an historic four-game event featuring Super League for the first time. Here's all!

Saturday’s game day began with an English Super League match in which the Wigan Warriors routed the Warrington Wolves, 48-24. Bringing the Brits into the fray was a brilliant move, because no fan base sings and parties harder than the Brits. They were heard all week up and down Vegas Strip and in every casino.

The Jillaroos will be at the centre of rugby league's Las Vegas extravaganza, where they have a chance to continue the growth of the women's game.

Rugby League in Las Vegas 2025 will be bigger, bolder and better, with more games, more teams, more nations and more opportunities for travelling supporters to take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

For those not familiar with rugby league and rugby union, it would be easy to confuse the pair as simply 'rugby'.
