Wigan Warriors demolished Hull KR 38-6 to take them to the Challenge Cup final where they will have the chance to record 21st win in the competition.

Wigan had lost to the Robins by a single point at the same semi-final stage in 2023, but five unanswered first-half tries ensured there would be no repeat.

Jake Wardle, Abbas Miski twice, Junior Nsemba and Harry Smith all crossed in a dominant 40 minutes.

Tyler Dupree and Wardle added two more in the second half, after Joe Burgess scored Hull KR's sole try.

Matt Peet’s team will head to Wembley on 8 June where they will play either Huddersfield Giants or Warrington Wolves, who play tomorrow (15:15 BST).
