    Abbas Miski, goal Harry Smith

    It's an avalanche of tries for Wigan now.

    It's been endlessly sleek from Wigan Warriors today.

    More quick hands and quick thinking has Abbas Miski with the ball wide on the right, and he dives over to finish.

    Harry Smith edges them ever further ahead with the conversion and they are heading to Old Trafford, without a doubt.

    I think that's game set and match for Wigan. They're just rubbing salt into Hull KR's wounds.

    Jai Field has been electric all year and this spine for Wigan have been key. They're taking their opportunities here and capitalising on them.

    Get those Grand Final tickets booked, Wigan fans.

    The Warriors slide left, with Patrick Mago evading a Brad Schneider tackle to offload for Jai Field, who dives over.

    Harry Smith boots the conversion to add to this healthy Wigan lead.

    Louis Senior is on hand to defuse a Bevan French kick in goal.

    Hull KR will restart with a drop-out kick...

    Oh and they go short. A big risk, but they come up with it.

    Fantastic piece of individual brilliance from Bevan French.

    Wigan have started the second half as they did the first. French puts on fancy footwork, looks up and sees Liam Marshall and the kick couldn't be anymore pin pointed.

    Liam Marshall, goal Harry Smith

    Hull KR won't want to see replays of this one.

    Harry Smith's kick from left to right goes over the head of Shaun Kenny-Dowall.

    Bevan French then finds himself in possession, looks up and picks out Liam Marshall with his own cross-field kick from right to left.

    Smith then books the extras and Wigan are looking comfortable again.

  16. Rhinos ready to defend their crownpublished at 13:50 British Summer Time 7 October 2023

    For all of York's regular season dominance, Leeds Rhinos are the ones that will be looking to defend their Women's Super League title on Sunday.

    Lois Forsell's side have also had to deal with heartache this season, losing to St Helens for the second year in a row in the first-ever women's Challenge Cup final at Wembley.

    "The girls know that I believe in them all so much as individuals and as a group," Forsell told BBC Radio Leeds.

    "The talk has always been about being patient and sticking with the process and each other - it was going to take time."

    York hope home advantage in the Women's Super League Grand Final against Leeds at their LNER Stadium on Sunday can help them take the final step towards the title, says boss Lindsay Anfield.

    The Valkyrie's consistency cannot be questioned, with back-to-back regular season League Leaders' Shield wins.

    However, York have lost Challenge Cup semi-finals two years in a row, as well as last year's Grand Final.

    "You can't understate how big it is," Anfield told BBC Radio York.

    "We're so used to coming here on game day, the changing rooms, the pitch. Even the amount of fans we're going to have compared to if it was in Lancashire will make a massive difference.

    "Everything bodes well for a successful weekend."

    These semi-finals are just the start of the high-stakes games this weekend.

    With the pressure they put on Hull KR in the first 20 minutes, Wigan are in the right frame of mind by coming out of the blocks.

    Coming into the back end of the first half, Hull KR started to have some opportunities and Wigan might be tiring.
