Fri 7th May: CCQF: St Helens v Huddersfield Giants KO 20:15 (Sky Sports)

[Man of Kent]

Lovely try. Saints were done there.

[GeordieSaint]

Great finish McIntosh... wow.

[Futtocks]

McIntosh with a flying touchdown on the end of quick passes. Nice.

[Man of Kent]

High quality rugby played by both sides

Well I have to take it back... But hard work for it from Giants.   But I think the 6 again are a joke.  Lots of others not given.

[Futtocks]

St Helens 10:12 Huddersfield at HT.

[MZH]

God knows how Huddersfield are leading. Great effort from them, but they have offered very little in attack. 2 chances 2 tries pretty much.

At half time they don't have more points

[Just Browny]

Think some of the chat about Huddersfield being massive underdogs is silly. They've got three decent halfbacks on the field, athletic backs and an honest pack. The main thing they lack is a really big forward to hurt people, a Walmsley, but they really should be in and around the top six.

[Ullman]

Huddersfield under relentless pressure for much of that half but have responded brilliantly. Good old fashioned Challenge Cup QF so far.

Bit unfair. They saw the chinks in the Saints defence and took those chances very well.

Yes.  Who will tire first. Saints are more creative.

I'm rooting for Giants, but Saints frankly look more dangerous, but they have had injuries, that could tell. So i am likely to be disappointed

And if you talk about cracks that will give you 8 matches.

Whereas Saints have produced some fantastic stuff and haven't had some soft defence to thank for their meagre haul then

[Chris22]

Nervous about this, even more so than before the game.

If Hudds score first and extend this to 8, we're in big trouble. I can't see us overturning a 2 score lead.

We will rely on our defence to win and hope to strike maybe even once.

This will be tense!

[GeordieSaint]

That knock on is why Percival is not international class...

[OMEGA]

The new ball strip rule is an absolute farce!

 

[Just Browny]

Child will see them right.

Oh I'm not criticising, it was 2 well taken tries. But they need to create a lot more to win this game.

[GeordieSaint]

Another really good finish from Grace.

[The Frying Scotsman]

Amor is a liability. Decision making wise, the guy is all over the place. 

Decent international sides will target him.

[MZH]

If Saints score next then this game is over. Tbh its probably over already.
