Best of luck to @WarringtonRLFC & @WiganWarriorsRL in Las Vegas tonight. Fantastic to see so many fans from the North West making the trip 👏👏👏A huge moment for the sport
It's been emotional. After 25 years working on @BBCNWT & more than 3 decades with the BBC I have presented my final North West Tonight sports desk. It's been an incredible privilege, to work with truly wonderful colleagues & meet so many remarkable people. I thank you all x https://t.co/4JQpAHXUvi
