TODAY'S the day...
It has been 140 days since Warrington Wolves were last in competitive action but that wait ends in a few short hours as the Sam Burgess era begins.
The modern-day rugby league legend takes charge of his first game as a top-flight head coach when he leads his Wire side against Catalans Dragons in Perpignan.

The match kicks off at 5.30pm UK time (6.30pm local time) at the Stade Gilbert Brutus and is being shown live on Sky Sports Arena (Sky channel 408).
You can also watch the match on Super League Plus - the competition's new streaming platform. Individual match passes can be purchased for £9.99 from superleagueplus.co.uk.
