Bevan French scores three of Wigan's eight tries as the Warriors avenge their famous Wembley Challenge Cup final loss to Sheffield Eagles 26 years ago.

Wigan Warriors ran in eight tries - six of them after the break - to ensure there would be no repeat of their famous Wembley 1998 Challenge Cup final loss to Sheffield Eagles.

French scored two more to complete his hat-trick, while Jake Wardle, Kruise Leeming and Patrick Mago were also on the scoresheet. But Oliver Roberts was sin-binned for holding down in the tackle, Harry Smith converted and the Eagles were unable to cope with the numerical disadvantage.
