Australian star Bevan French marked his comeback from hamstring surgery to steal the show at Wembley as Wigan gained emphatic revenge for last season's Grand Final defeat by summoning a 40-10 demolition of Hull KR in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley.
Named in coach C's 21-man final squad six weeks earlier than expected after sustaining the injury in March, French needed less than three minutes after being introduced on the hour mark to skip over for his side's sixth try.
That 30-year-old French had been afforded the luxury of a cameo role was due in large part to the performance of his understudy, Jack Farrimond, who helped himself to Wigan's first two tries and orchestrated an emphatic start from which Rovers never recovered.
