Wigan are Challenge Cup underdogs as rivalry with Hull KR promises classic

Hull KR and Wigan Warriors meet in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley on Saturday, marking their third consecutive major final clash in as many seasons. Wigan won the 2024 Super League Grand Final, while Hull KR claimed revenge at Old Trafford the following year, making the head-to-head record level at one win apiece. Both clubs are also recent World Club Challenge winners, and Wigan enter this final as slight underdogs despite their pedigree.
