Hull FC Coast Into The Cup Final with Big Leeds Win

Rhinos coach Brian McDermott had rung the changes from the youthful side that lost heavily to Wigan Warriors last weekend in bringing back nine regular first teamers, but Hull were unchanged from the side that beat the Huddersfield Giants last time out.



Leeds won the meeting between the two sides at Headingley a fortnight ago by 10-7, and by 52-24 in mid-April in Hull. But this was Cup, it was Super League's second against third, and all expectations were of a cracker.
