Ahead of the Challenge Cup final, Warrington Wolves boss Sam Burgess expects a 'carnival of rugby league' at Wembley.
Wembley Stadium plays host to a bumper day of action with Saturday morning's women's Challenge Cup final kicking off a triple header, with the men's Challenge Cup final and then the 1895 Cup final swiftly following.
"It's a carnival of rugby league and it should be a cracking day. Hopefully there's plenty more for people to get inspired and go and pursue a career in the sport."Sam Burgess led his Warrington side to victory over St Helens in the quarter-final and Huddersfield Giants in the semi-final "It's a great stage. It's at Wembley. I've been there as a fan as a kid in 1999 and I went there as an England player in 2013 and now I'm there in 2024 as a coach," he continued.
The Englishman guided Wigan Warriors to victory over Huddersfield Giants in the Challenge Cup in 2022 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, just months into his blossoming coaching career. "Tottenham felt modern and innovative and fresh but with Wembley comes history, tradition and nostalgia. It's different and we're going to embrace it," Peet told BBC Sport.
The final is between two of the most impressive sides in Super League this season - with Warrington winning nine of their 13 games, while Wigan are level on points with leaders St Helens.
