Rovers secure last-eight spot
Hull KR overcame a disastrous start to comfortably book their place in the last eight of the Carnegie Challenge Cup with a 42-22 win over Huddersfield.
Huddersfield, the 2006 runners-up, made a dream start by racing into a 12-0 lead after 17 minutes but finished a well-beaten side and, with just two wins from their last 11 matches, this result can only increase the pressure on coach Jon Sharp.
It was 22-22 until Rovers winger Peter Fox scored the second of his two tries after 53 minutes, and two late tries emphasised the home side's superiority.
