Wigan took a break from league action to welcome tourists Australia to Central Park on a Wednesday Night. Great Britain had levelled the test series with a 18-14 victory at Odsal the previous weekend and Australia were looking to bounce back and when Wigan trailed just 5-2 at half time, hopes became high of an upset. Wigan though had lost both Dave Willicombe (broken arm) and John Wood (dislocated elbow) to injury early on and it began to tell during the second half as Australia ran away to score five tries after the interval for a comfortable 28-2 win in the end.
