Wigan Warriors delivered a masterclass in Paris, thrashing Catalans Dragons 40-16 at the Stade Jean Bouin in a match celebrating the French club's 20 years in Super League. The Warriors ran in seven tries through Jai Field, Junior Nsemba, George Marsden, Jack Farrimond, Jake Wardle, Zach Eckersley and Adam Keighran, with teenager Marsden's effort a contender for try of the season.

The victory came a week after Wigan's Challenge Cup final triumph over Hull KR at Wembley, and they handled the post-Wembley hangover superbly. Catalans scored through Solomona Faataape, Zac Lipowicz and Chris Satae, but Satae's sin-binning for dissent proved costly - Wigan capitalized to lead 30-6 at halftime while the Dragons played with 12 men.

Player of the match Junior Nsemba praised his team's character, saying they wanted to avoid being a 'one-day team' after their cup success. Wigan coach Matt Peet lauded his young half-backs for managing the tricky French fixture impressively, while Catalans boss John Cartwright admitted his side were 'their own worst enemy' in the first half.

This emphatic win sends Wigan into the next round of fixtures with momentum, proving their Wembley victory wasn't a flash in the pan. For Catalans, the defeat raises questions about discipline and consistency as they reflect on a milestone occasion spoiled by their own errors.
