Hull KR thrash under-strength Wigan in appalling final rehearsal

Hull KR defeated Wigan 62-4 in a Super League match that served as a final rehearsal ahead of next weekend's Challenge Cup final at Wembley. Hull KR went close to full strength and ran in 11 tries, while Wigan coach Matt Peet rested his first-team squad entirely, handing out eight debuts and fielding just three players over the age of 23. The lopsided result was widely seen as an embarrassing spectacle for Super League.
