IRELAND WOLFHOUNDS will ‘host’ Wales Dragonhearts on Saturday.

The game is being staged at Castleford Panthers, with an 11.30am kick-off, to give both sets of players, coaches and administrators the chance to take in that afternoon’s senior Ireland-Wales international at nearby Featherstone Rovers.

The Wolfhounds are targeting a double after having beaten the Dragonhearts 26-18 at Neath in late September, a victory founded on a 26-6 interval lead.

The Dragonhearts go into the contest without a win so far this autumn and lost 30-16 to Southern Regions nine days ago in Neath.
