And then there were two. The top two, in fact. Wigan finished the regular season in first, with St Helens right behind with the same win percentage as Warrington, but by far and away the league's best points scored percentage. You can follow our guide as we explain how to watch a Super League rugby Grand Final live stream and watch Wigan vs St Helens online from anywhere tonight.

These two clubs share 125 years of mutual hatred. In fact, this is the fixture that's said to have coined every sports fan's favourite word: derby. The stage is set beautifully, with both coaches able to pick from a more-or-less fully healthy roster of players, and club legends Sean O'Loughin and James Graham both set to hang up their boots after tonight's game. Whichever way this goes, it's going to be seriously emotional.

Wigan and St Helens played twice since the Super League restart, taking a win apiece, but the Saints' 42-0 stuffing of the Pies at the end of September is the game that really sticks in the memory. 

Adrian Lam fielded a much-changed side, which included six debutants, in order to rest his key men for a Challenge Cup semi-final they'd go on to lose to Leeds. But the Warriors got their own back on St Helens turf a month later, romping to an 18-6 victory to take top spot in the league table.

These two have been the standout teams of this season, and although finals don't always measure up to the hype, this one really could be a belter.
