Tristan Sailor scored 14 points as St Helens demolished Catalans Dragons 36-4 in a one-sided Challenge Cup quarter-final at the BrewDog Stadium. The Australian full-back crossed for a try and kicked five goals, dominating a ragged French side that failed to test Paul Rowley's resurgent Saints. Nineteen-year-old Jake Davies scored his first senior try before second-half scores from Owen Dagnall and George Whitby emphasized the gulf between the sides.

Saints welcomed back Alex Walmsley, who celebrated his 36th birthday by repeatedly punching holes in the Dragons defence. However, Rowley's injury woes continued as Jake Wingfield and Lewis Murphy were forced off in the opening 32 minutes. Daryl Clark's speed at the ruck created havoc for the disorganised Catalans side, while Julian Bousquet was sin-binned for tackling Harry Robertson without the ball.

St Helens have now won seven of their past eight games in all competitions. Faataape's late consolation try for Catalans proved mere consolation as Saints eased through to the semi-finals with a dominant display.
