That's knockout rugby league folks.

Elation for Hull KR. Dejection for Wigan Warriors, who will not retain their Challenge Cup crown.

Just under three weeks to go until the triple-header at Wembley and we now know our finalists.

The Super League returns next week and when the greatest game does return to the capital, we'll be there to take you through all the action.

For now though, thank you very much for joining us.

Wigan's Bevan French speaking to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two:

'We're shattered obviously.

"We want to win trophies so to lose like that, you can't put it into words.

"Credit to both teams. We were just battling out there and there wasn’t much shape there in the second half and noone broke.

"You can’t knock the effort that’s for sure.

"We can use this as a learning curve but it hurts now."

Hull KR's Lewis Senior speaking to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two:

"Unreal. I’ve never experienced anything like it.

"The feeling is so good.

"It was difficult conditions but the boys never gave up.

"It felt like a home game it was so loud."

Hull KR's Mikey Lewis told ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two:

"We've worked hard all year and this is one of our goals to get to Wembley and we've done it.

"I can't wait for the next few weeks now and to get out on the big stage.

"We lost one of our biggest carriers in the warm-up [Ryan Hall] and we just had to adapt to it.

"When I was told that I was going to play at full-back I just got on with it. We've got a young bunch of lads who want to dream and hopefully we can go all the way and win it now."

Hull KR's George King speaking to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two:

"They were really good today Wigan. We had to really stick at it even when they were down to 12 men.

"It was a whole team effort to get that conversion.

"The fans travel in numbers home and away they are unreal.

"I’m so shocked, it’s so surreal.

"There has to be one winner and one loser and Wigan gave everything.

"Credit to them they made it such a good semi-final."

Wigan coach Matt Peet speaking to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two:

"It was a fantastic game. I'm so proud of the players.

"Credit to Hull KR it was a great game and advert for the sport.

"I couldn’t ask much more from my players.

"It could have been a yellow but those moments happen in games but you have to get on with it.

"We got pipped at the end and I wish both teams all the best in the final."

Match-winning Hull KR player Brad Schneider, speaking to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two:

"Unbelievable this. I never thought in two games I’d have to make two field goals.

"It was a bit scrappy but we’ve stayed in there.

"I had no idea about the Challenge Cup when I came over here but the passion from the club, the fans, it’s such a good feeling to be part of it.

"It was the best I’ve struck the ball."

Jon Smalldon: I mean, WOW!

Gee: Currently in Croatia listening to Radio Humberside coverage, not even a sunset over the Adriatic can beat that!

Oliver: Brad Schneider's drop-goal last week was so bad and he’s just nailed that hahaha, very excited for Leigh and Hull KR at wembley

We've been treated to some incredible Challenge Cup rugby this weekend.

From St Helens' stunning win over York Valkyrie yesterday, to Leigh's sensational win against Saints, to Leeds winning on home ground against Wigan today.

And now Hull KR finally sealing victory in a Challenge Cup semi-final after three consecutive defeats.

Brian Noble
Former Wigan coach on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two

We’ve witnessed an unbelievable game there.

Great speed and skill, bashing each other, of course the sending off didn’t help Wigan but they stayed in there.

What a few weeks Brad Schneider's having.

He only joined Hull KR earlier in July and believe it or not, this is the second golden point drop-goal he's scored at Headingley in just over a week, having done the very same against Leeds on 14 July.

Brad Schneider nails the kick for Hull KR and they're heading to the Challenge Cup final.

Wigan, with 12 players, put up a fight but they've fallen short.

What a colossal kick from the Robins' new arrival.

Two tackles down for Wigan and they're still on their own 20 metre line.

Harry Smith kicks it upfield and Hull KR win it back just past halfway.

Jamie Peacock
Former England captain on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two

Absolutely outstanding.

The desire and commitment from both sides has been incredible.

Right then, we're back under way at a rainy Headingley.

Hull KR kick us off and Wigan receive possession.

Whoever gets the next point(s) will reach the Challenge Cup final.

Wigan are forced to kick on the turnover but Hull KR can't return upfield before the hooter.

We're headed for golden point.

Josh Charnley
Leigh winger on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Manchester

There's been a lot of panic from Hull KR.

They should have gone for a drop-goal straight away.

They are chasing the game.

Wigan begin a set of six deep in their half with a minute remaining.

Can they get to anywhere near kicking range?

Oh my word.

Wigan survive and it comes after Hull KR go for the try instead of the drop-goal.

And just as KR decide to go for the kick, Brad Schneider fumbles.

Jai Field is tackled with the ball on halfway and on the turnover.

Hull KR get the ball back and time is in their favour if they are to go for the drop-goal.

I can't handle this and I'm not even playing.
