Highlights from the biggest round of matches on the Super League calendar as Wigan take on St Helens, Widnes play Warrington and Castleford face Wakefield. The Easter matches are traditionally played in front of sell-out crowds as local rivals go head to head in some intense atmospheres. The rivalry between Wigan and St Helens stretches back to 1895, making it one of the oldest derby matches in world sport. The teams have met over 300 times, and their latest contest will be one of the highlights of the season. Wakefield make the short journey to take on their high-flying neighbours, the Castleford Tigers. Castleford averaged over 40 points a game in the first seven weeks of the season, but Wakefield have been in impressive form themselves, having already won away to Catalans and St Helens so far this year. Widnes and Warrington go into the Easter weekend in the bottom four and both the need the victory, and the two points on offer, to help them a climb away from the foot of the table. Salford play Leigh, and Huddersfield are at home to Catalans.
