Warrington Wolves have not been to Wembley Stadium since they last lifted the Challenge Cup back in 2019, but victory over Huddersfield Giants this afternoon will punch their ticket to the national stadium for next month's cup final.

Both sides are coming off impressive quarter-final victories, with Warrington hammering St Helens while Huddersfield did similar to Catalans Dragons in Perpignan.
