Tries: Drinkwater, Ashton, Walker, Williams, Dufty (2), Powell, Tai Goals: Thewlis (7)
Warrington brushed aside Huddersfield with a scintillating first half to set up a Challenge Cup final against Wigan.
The in-form Wolves had too much pace and power for the lacklustre Giants to book their first Wembley date since they lifted the trophy in 2019.
The hosts were never in the running against a side that has now won six of their last seven matches in all competitions and racked up a fourth successive win over the Giants.
Tries from Josh Drinkwater, Matty Ashton, Danny Walker and George Williams had the game effectively won by half-time and Wire piled it on in the second half as Matt Dufty (two), Sam Powell and Rodrick Tai added further scores.
