    That's knockout rugby league folks.

    Elation for Hull KR. Dejection for Wigan Warriors, who will not retain their Challenge Cup crown.

    Just under three weeks to go until the triple-header at Wembley and we now know our finalists.

    The Super League returns next week and when the greatest game does return to the capital, we'll be there to take you through all the action.

    For now though, thank you very much for joining us.

    "Credit to both teams. We were just battling out there and there wasn鈥檛 much shape there in the second half and noone broke.

    "You can鈥檛 knock the effort that鈥檚 for sure.

    "We can use this as a learning curve but it hurts now."

    Hull KR's Mikey Lewis told 大象传媒 Two:

    "We've worked hard all year and this is one of our goals to get to Wembley and we've done it.

    "I can't wait for the next few weeks now and to get out on the big stage.

    "We lost one of our biggest carriers in the warm-up [Ryan Hall] and we just had to adapt to it.

    "When I was told that I was going to play at full-back I just got on with it. We've got a young bunch of lads who want to dream and hopefully we can go all the way and win it now."

    "I鈥檓 so shocked, it鈥檚 so surreal.

    Brian Noble
    Former Wigan coach on 大象传媒 Two

    We鈥檝e witnessed an unbelievable game there.

    Great speed and skill, bashing each other, of course the sending off didn鈥檛 help Wigan but they stayed in there.

    What a few weeks Brad Schneider's having.

    He only joined Hull KR earlier in July and believe it or not, this is the second golden point drop-goal he's scored at Headingley in just over a week, having done the very same against Leeds on 14 July.

  12. HULL KR ARE HEADING TO WEMBLEYpublished at 18:53 British Summer Time 23 July 2023

    Brad Schneider nails the kick for Hull KR and they're heading to the Challenge Cup final.

    Wigan, with 12 players, put up a fight but they've fallen short.

    What a colossal kick from the Robins' new arrival.

    Two tackles down for Wigan and they're still on their own 20 metre line.

    Harry Smith kicks it upfield and Hull KR win it back just past halfway.

  14. 'Absolutely outstanding'published at 18:51 British Summer Time 23 July 2023

    Absolutely outstanding.

    The desire and commitment from both sides has been incredible.

  15. GOLDEN POINT EXTRA TIMEpublished at 80 mins

    Hull KR 10-10 Wigan

    Right then, we're back under way at a rainy Headingley.

    Hull KR kick us off and Wigan receive possession.

    Whoever gets the next point(s) will reach the Challenge Cup final.

  16. Full timepublished at 18:49 British Summer Time 23 July 2023

    Wigan are forced to kick on the turnover but Hull KR can't return upfield before the hooter.

    We're headed for golden point.

  17. 'Should have gone for drop-goal'published at 18:49 British Summer Time 23 July 2023

    Hull KR 10-10 Wigan

    Josh Charnley
    Leigh winger on 大象传媒 Radio Manchester

    There's been a lot of panic from Hull KR.

    They should have gone for a drop-goal straight away.

    They are chasing the game.

  18. Postpublished at 79 mins

    Hull KR 10-10 Wigan

    Wigan begin a set of six deep in their half with a minute remaining.

    Can they get to anywhere near kicking range?

  19. Postpublished at 78 mins

    Hull KR 10-10 Wigan

    Oh my word.

    Wigan survive and it comes after Hull KR go for the try instead of the drop-goal.

    And just as KR decide to go for the kick, Brad Schneider fumbles.

  20. Postpublished at 78 mins

    Hull KR 10-10 Wigan

    Jai Field is tackled with the ball on halfway and on the turnover.

    Hull KR get the ball back and time is in their favour if they are to go for the drop-goal.

    I can't handle this and I'm not even playing.
