Wigan Warriors cruised into the Challenge Cup final with a thoroughly deserved 70-0 win over London.

Shaun Wane’s side, who missed out at the semi-final stages last time around, ran in a total of 11 tries and will face either Hull or Warrington at Wembley next month.

London came close on a couple of early attacks but it was Darrell Goulding who touched down for the opening score after weaving his way through the defence from dummy-half.

The Warriors were obviously still hurting from Monday’s narrow loss against St Helens, and with that in mind tried to stretch the score to 8-0 with a penalty goal.

But even after a heroic long distance drop-goal in that game, Richards missed and was unable to make it a two try game.

Wigan were boosted by the return of skipper, Sean O’Loughlin who played a part in sending Lee Mossop in under the sticks on the 20 minute mark.

Also returning was last season’s Man of Steel, Sam Tomkins and he was able to mark his return with an early try after dancing his way over the line.

Matty Smith then put in an inch perfect grubber kick to find half-back partner, Green who too scored a converted try under the sticks.

London were becoming a victim of their own indiscipline and conceded their fifth try through Pat Richards after conceding yet another penalty.

But they could do very little to avoid the next try; O’Loughlin made a fantastic break and muscled his way over a backtracking Broncos defender before sending a sweeping pass across to Josh Charnley on the right wing.

Scott Taylor will have been happy to avoid suspension in the week and crashed over to add his name to the scoresheet after Tommy Lee was penalised for a high tackle on Tomkins.

Smith forced a drop-out after toeing on his own chip over the top and from that resultant set, he became the Warriors’ eighth try.

Captain, O’Loughlin then produced a marvellous flick pass which mirrored that of Scott Dureau at Saints last season, to allow Richards to score his second.

Richards then broke and looked inside to Liam Farrell before Iain Thornley nipped past the tired London defence.

Charnley scored his 100th career try seven minutes from time and Richards hit his eleventh conversion to chalk up 70 points.
