| Summary:l |
Wigan had to battle hard to see off Second Division Wakefield in this John Player Second Round tie. They held Wigan to just 16-13 at half time but three tries in a six minute spell took Wigan into a 30-13 lead and although that was narrowed by the end, it was enough for progression. |
