Bo de la Cruz, Dean Widders and Beau Champion will be back to guide you through the week's footy news, including the brand new UK Super League broadcasts.

The twelve teams of the United Kingdom's top rugby league will soon be clashing on NITV, bringing the Isle's best to our screen for the first time ever.

The competition pits the code's best against each other in a battle for the Challenge Cup.

Reflecting the game's origins, most of the teams hail from northern England. London has its own team, as do the French across the pond, ensuring some fierce rivalry!
The champions will go on to play the Australian National Rugby League's victors in the World Club Challenge: last year's NRL winners the Penrith Panthers will be facing off against the Wigan Warriors in the Clash of the Champions Sunday, 25 February at 7.00am (AEDT).

Intense clashes, stellar plays, and unforgettable moments will be played out in high definition on NITV as the race for supremacy unfolds.

Beginning Tuesday February 20, you can watch select games from the UK Super League live on weekends, with replays shown after Over the Black Dot (from 10.15pm).
