    Leeds Rhinos' Ruby Enright speaking to BBC Sport:

    "We struggled with the conditions; they made it harder. We needed a competitive game like that [against York] coming into this week.

    "We were hurt last year [against St Helens]. Hopefully we can go back and get the win this time."

    Towards the end, Wigan looked tired; they were outstanding. It is tough to have a loser!

    Leeds have come out on top in this bruising encounter and are heading back to Wembley to face St Helens.

    It'll be a replay of the 2023 decider.

    Can the Rhinos avenge that Women's Challenge Cup final defeat at the national stadium on 8 June?

    There is no surprise that Ruby Enright has just been named player of the match.

    She has been electric for Leeds and come up with the points!

    Also, her short kick-offs today were super clever.

    It has been a great show of women's rugby league. Both sides have bee outstanding.

    And it doesn't count.

    Rease Casey only got over the line after bouncing up short at her first attempt.

    Wigan have given it everything today, no doubt.

    And Rease Casey may just have snuck over for Wigan.

    The on-field call is no try. The video assistant will be looking for a double movement.

    Wigan might just about be beaten, but they are still taking this game to Leeds.

    They are within 10m of the line now...

    It comes from a great break by Beevers. Great finish by Bennett, she had to stretch for it!

    Leeds are now surely heading to Wembley.

    After Caitlin Beevers carved through Wigan's defence, the ball is swept from left to right.

    Keara Bennett only has eyes for the line when she takes the ball about 10m out.

    She throws a dummy, pushes off a defender then reaches over and slams the ball down. It's a great finish.

    The conversion is missed, but Leeds are out of sight now.

    For the first time today we go to the video referee to see if Keara Bennett's try for Leeds will count.

    The on-field call is try...

    There is just 10 minutes left and Wigan have a 10-point gap to close if they stand any chance of meeting St Helens in the Women's Challenge Cup final at Wembley.

    Leeds' Amy Hardcastle does not look impressed with Holly Speakman's latest big hit.

    Hardcastle just stands there and appeals for the high hit, and the penalty is given.

    Ruby Enright almost has Leeds out of sight.

    She runs the ball on the final tackle and is brought down just short of the line. It was close.

    Grace Banks is the latest Wigan player to go down with an injury.

    And like Jenna Foubister before her, she is caught awkwardly under a tackle.

    She is clutching her shoulder and in obvious pain. Sadly, her day is done.

    Leeds' Ruby Enright has been brilliant to watch today.

    The full-back picks up a deep kick from Emma Knowles and steps and bobs beyond a few attempted tackles before being taken down.

    Wigan get to within metres off pulling a try back.

    Eventually Anna Davies is crowed out by about three Leeds shirts right in the corner after a short pass from Grace Banks gave her little option.

    Emma Welsford is wrapped up in tackle after taking a deep kick from Leeds.

    Bethan Dainton is overzealous as she comes in as the second tacker and draw the penalty.

    Wigan kick for metres, and have turned scrambling defence into attack now.

    Wigan go to the edge in search of a much-need try and way back into this game.

    Ellise Derbyshire has plenty of pace, but she runs out of space to run into and is shunted into touch.
