Rugby league returns on Thursday when Leeds Rhinos and Wakefield Trinity become the first top-flight clubs to have a pre-season hit-out. The Wetherby Whaler Festive Challenge is a Boxing Day tradition which regularly draws a five-figure gate to AMT Headingley, but armchair fans can also watch the action with the match being streamed live on Super League+.

Rhinos coach Brad Arthur has named his strongest-available squad, including all five off-season signings. For Trinity, it is a first opportunity to see how they measure up against Betfred Super League opposition following promotion at the end of last season.

Coverage starts from 11.15am. Rhinos’ injured full-back Lachie Miller will provide analysis of the game, alongside commentator Lewis Smith.
