Here we go, weather looking perfect for a decent game, lets hope it lives up to expectations

2 mins in, nasty injury to blake green - looked a dodgy hit from westwood, possible broken cheekbone

injury not as bad as feared, incident put on report

in goal areas are really small, kicking games will need to be spot on to create tries

2 - 0 wigan richards long range penalty. good open game so far with quite a few half chances

2 quickfire tries to warrington a trademark from joel monaghan, and close range from grix after richards put the restart out on the full.
ratchford goals the latter one, 10 - 2 warrington

westwoods in now, warrington running riot. higham and briers are controlling the game

ratchford goals now 16 - 2, wigan up against it

goulding having a bit of a shocker, if i was matty smith i would cut him out and give it straight to charnley

huge chance for wigan with 2 mins left in half - really have to score from scrum 10 out

joel monaghan nasty head injury - got his head in wrong place in a tackle - no malice

charnley using the break to stretch out his groin muscle - when will he learn

and wigan duly score - goulding redeems himself after bombing 3 or 4 chances. actually i think if wigan get it together down this right hand side there will be quite a bit of joy to be had

warrington lead 16 - 6 good half but game yet to really catch fire

half time 16 - 6 warrington had a golden spell of ten minutes where everything went right. wigan have had chances but have blown all but one whereas warrington have been more clinical. wigan look dangerous down the right hand side but might also profit down the left from joel monaghan going off with a head injury

final is quite nicely poised - its an old cliche but the first score of the second half will be really crucial

Thank you for your updates!

wigan score a soft try - good hookers try though. briers and higham not having much influence now, game on

worrying news for england is that oloughlan has gone off - hopefully just being spelled

ratchford off injured now - big blow for warrington as he's the kicker

and wigan duly complete the comeback charnley in again down the right hand side, richards converts

18 - 16 wigan - really good final now

So the wi*an dirty tactics resurface, with Ratchford taken out of the game by a 'cannonball' tackle. Wonder if the semi-shaven ape gave that instruction?

Wire totally bottling this, though. They're by far the better side, but throwing it away

charnley bombs a try now - the right hand side is still where wigan are going all the time - there's more joy to be had down there

Is Briers actually playing?

Wigan dirty tactics? Have a word. That was a fair tackle - just hit his hip hard... What do you call Westwood's cheap shot?

blake green in for what could be the winner 24 - 16 to wigan. what on earth has happened to warrington?

mcllorum mom for me he's been excellent

cooper should get at least ten minutes there but as its a final he won't. officials uesless - it was a cheap shot not a high tackle

Giving high tackles based on replays now, poor refereeing when they refused to do it for Westwood's punch
