Wigan Warriors avenge last year's semi-final defeat to beat Hull KR and reach the Challenge Cup final at Wembley.
Wigan Warriors demolished Hull KR to book their place in the Challenge Cup final and the chance to record a 21st win in the competition.Jake Wardle, Abbas Miski - who claimed a double - Junior Nsemba and Harry Smith all crossed in a dominant first 40 minutes at the Eco-Power Stadium in Doncaster.
Since defeat by Hull KR at Headingley in the semi-final last July, Wigan have won 21 of their last 23 matches. Hull KR tried to respond and were unhappy with a call when they felt Tyrone May was impeded by Smith as he chased a kick.On the fifth tackle, Bevan French conjured up another bit of magic from his box of tricks with a beautiful kick that dropped just over Ryan Hall and was superbly caught and touched down by Miski in the same movement.
But the Super League champions did not stop there and two more tries before the break effectively booked their place at Wembley. But it was not until the 50th minute that they had anything to celebrate as Burgess scored in the corner.
