A Matty Ashton treble and a home debut try for Roderick Tai saw Warrington Wolves romp to victory over London Broncos for the second time in eight days to book their place in the Challenge Cup quarter-final draw.
Ashton led the way with a hat-trick, while winger Josh Thewlis scored twice as Warrington Wolves all but repeated last weekend’s 58-4 win in London with other scores from Jordan Crowther, Rodrick Tai, Toby King and Matty Nicholson.
But after last week’s goal kicking recorfd Stefan Ratchford only landed three of the nine conversions.
Warrington now join Wigan, St Helens, Hull KR, Huddersfield, Castleford and holders Leigh in the quarter-final hat, with just one more game to come – Sunday’s meeting between Halifax Panthers and Catalans Dragons.
The match was soon over as a contest as Warrington Wolves crossed five times before the break for a 24-0 interval lead.
Ashton’s treble made him the third Warrington player to run in a hat-trick against the Broncos this month, after Thewlis and Matt Dufty each scored three tries at Plough Lane last week.
This time Thewlis had to settle for just a double, to set Warrington Wolves up for next Saturday’s home game against Catalans Dragons.
The win booked the Wire’s place in the last eight with the draw on Monday evening.
