As the split for the Super 8s edges that bit closer, Huddersfield welcomed Super League's second-placed side Wigan to the John Smith's Stadium with the Giants hoping for a second home win in a row & Warriors looking to keep the pressure on runaway leaders St. Helens. Huddersfield had the better of Wigan from the off as McIntosh bagged another brace and the home side's defence kept Wigan at bay. A frantic first half was enough for Simon Woolford's men, who controlled the second period, only needing the one four pointer before the cherry and whites managed a late consolation. The only concern for Giants may be an off night of kicking for Danny Brough but Huddersfield will be much more focused on their impressive form in the season's twilight that leaves them comfortable in the top eight, level on points with sixth-placed Catalans. Proper Sport's commentary team of Mick Gledhill and Garry Schofield brought you the action in this lively affair. Final score: Huddersfield Giants 20 - 12 Wigan Warriors
