Brisbane Broncos provided yet more embarrassment for Super League as the NRL comfortably wrapped up the 2016 Dacia World Club Series with a game to spare.A 42-12 demolition of Wigan, which followed Sydney Roosters equally ruthless 38-12 rout of St Helens 24 hours earlier, put the Australian clubs 2-0 up in the three-match series, leaving champions Leeds to salvage some pride in Sundays World Club Challenge against North Queensland.Wigan, like Saints, were handed a lesson in clinical finishing and their misery was compounded by the loss of England hooker Michael McIlorum with a broken and dislocated ankle. Shaun Wane believes there is a big gap in quality between the Super League and the NRL Beaten 14-12 in extra time by Bennetts Broncos a year ago, the Warriors were thought to have the best chance of gaining some overdue success for Super League but they were simply out-classed by opponents who not only ran harder and faster but produced some sublime moments of skill to which their hosts had no answer.Half-back Kodi Nikorima, whose younger brother tormented St Helens, scored two of the Broncos seven tries as he deputised superbly for the suspended Ben Hunt.Winger Corey Oates also touched down twice and went desperately close to completing a hat-trick while former Huddersfield and Hull KR full-back Greg Eden scored a spectacular long-range try on his long-awaited debut for the Queensland club. Wigan Warriors Willie Isa is stopped short of the try line Wigan, who have not lost at the DW Stadium to a Super League team for almost 20 months, actually made a promising start with second rower Willie Isa and stand-off George Williams posing some problems for the Broncos defence but once Isa was held up over the line the game began to take on a familiar look.Brisbane scored from their first meaningful attack, with Oates taking Darius Boyds cut-out pass to dive over at the corner for a try confirmed by video referee Robert Hicks as he skirted the touchline. Sean OLoughlin says Wigan will learn the lessons from their defeat to Brisbane The game was held up while McIlorum had treatment on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher but the Australians were quickly back into their stride and Nikorima pounced for a second try in fortuitous fashion after Anthony Milfords grubber kick bounced back off a post.Corey Parkers second conversion made it a flattering 12-0 but Wigan got themselves right back into it on 21 minutes when centre Dan Sarginson took a flat pass from second rower Liam Farrell to crash over for a try and Matty Smiths goal cut the deficit to just six points.The game was in the balance at that point but it was put beyond the reach of the Super League side Brisbane once more demonstrated clinical finishing to carve out tries for second rower Matt Gillett and prop Jarrod Wallace in a decisive five-minute spell just before half-time, when the visitors led 24-6. Dan Sarginson goes over for Wigans first try The Warriors continued to play with plenty of spirit and endeavour but it was simply not enough against their slick opponents, who struck on the counter-attack to score a fifth try on 52 minutes and put the game to bed.Eden was denied by full-back Lewis Tierney as he went 50 metres upfield but Brisbane outflanked their hosts on the next play to work Oates over for his second try.Nikorima then grabbed his second after following up Boyds kick and Eden went 80 metres to touch down after a break out of defence, leaving Williams 76th-minute try little more than consolation for well-beaten Wigan.

Luka Doncic Jersey . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St.The Vitality Netball Superleague semi-finals are coming up, so we asked England captain Ama Agbeze to answer key questions about Saturdays matches.Reigning champions Surrey Storm will take on Hertfordshire Mavericks in a repeat of last years Grand Final, while Manchester Thunder will face Team Bath, with both matches being shown live on Sky Sports.Loughborough Lightnings Agbeze, who will join our Sky Sports experts, has given her verdict on both matches and makes a prediction about the eventual title winners. Who are the favourites? Manchester Thunder finished top of the Superleague table People are billing Manchester Thunder as their favourites to win, but I dont necessarily think they will. I think the favourite tag is based on their form and the players they have in their squad. They have been building as the season has gone on and they are at the peak of their confidence. Other teams are probably thinking: we have been beaten by them, or we havent had the best games against them. They will go into the finals with a psychological edge and other teams will also have that on their minds, which could have an impact on how they perform.Who is the surprise package? Team Bath ended the season strongly ahead of their semi-final in Manchester Team Bath again have that confidence and belief, irrespective of who is on court. Their coach Anna Stembridge has instilled that in them. I just think they will surprise a few people. On any given day, Team Bath have got the potential to beat any of the teams in the semi-finals.Can Surrey keep their title? Surrey Storm are two wins away from retaining the Superleague trophy They are the team that Im backing more. They have that good ability to analyse the opposition, even before they get to the game. Their analysis is really good and they know exactly what theyre doing. Their game plans change weekly and they know how to play as a team before they step on the court. It will be a case of whether they can perform to that game plan for a whole 60 minutes, or extra-time if it goes that way. Going on their performances this season, their consistency, I think Surrey can retain their title.Players to watchManchester Thunder: Laura Malcolm, who has been named as the vice-captain for England, is a really consistent performer. Shes so good on defence. Shes got even better this season and her driving attack is really good. Sometimes she plays centre and fits well into their system. Laura Malcolm has impressed the England selectors Hertfordshire Mavericks: Sophie Carter. She reads the game really well. Sophie is part of a strong overall team at Hertfordshire. Across the board, they all work so well together as a team, but if I had to pick out someone - it would be Sophie as he she is a key player for Mavericks. Sophie Carter (right) has proved her worth to Hertfordshire Mavericks Surrey Storm: Georgia Lees.dddddddddddd She doesnt usually start every game, but she always makes a big impact when she comes on. She plays similarly to Tamsin Greenway. I dont know if she naturally plays like Tamsin or whether Tamsin as a coach has rubbed off on her. Surrey Storms Georgia Lees is one of the exciting young talents in the Superleague Its just subtle things that she does. She does not do everything at 100 miles per hour. She will be stood next to a defender and then suddenly will appear on the circle edge. Her subtle movement and play is key. Lees was voted Player of the Match as her side defeated Team Northumbria 45-58. Team Bath: They again are a team that have a general collection of good, solid performers. I think Mia Ritchie has had a number of good performances, but Im going for Joanna Vann. She is a good, consistent player, who makes the connection between attack and defence. Ama Agbeze on Joanna Vann She is a good, consistent player, who makes the connection between attack and defence. She is very good defensively. Who will win the Superleague title? Coach Dan Ryan will be hoping to mastermind a title win for Manchester Thunder Im torn between Storm and Thunder. As I said, Bath on the day could be good, but I just dont think they will reach those levels. Thunder and Storm is a battle of confidence and belief. I want the Storm to win and all my Thunder friends are going to hate me, but I do think Thunder are going to pip them to the post. Their attack is really good, Ellie Cardwell is a really strong upcoming shooter, and the shooting is pretty consistent. Generally Manchesters attack is very hard to beat. It will be a competitive game, but Thunder will be the team in front at the end.
