Bulls too strong for Giants

Bradford discovered a ruthless streak to brush aside Huddersfield 52-20 in a one-sided Carnegie Challenge Cup quarter-final at Odsal.

Former Huddersfield winger Marcus St Hilaire scored the 100th try of his career, which included an appearance for Leeds in the last Wembley final in 1999, as the Bulls cruised into the last four.

Bradford ran in nine tries in all, two of them through debutant winger Tame Tupou, as they condemned the out-of-sorts Giants to their heaviest defeat of the season.

Three tries in a five-minute spell late in the game enabled Huddersfield to save some face after they trailed 46-4, but the truth is they were embarrassed by the scale of the defeat.

They had not lost by more than eight points in any of their previous 18 league and cup matches this year, but their defence had no answer to the devastating running of second-row pair David Solomona and Glenn Morrison or the brilliant tactical kicking of man of the match Paul Deacon.

Bradford's victory was all the more impressive due to the restricted appearance of stand-off Iestyn Harris, who was helped off after 17 minutes when his left knee dramatically gave way as he attempted to change direction.
