Hull score 12 tries to thrash Widnes Vikings

Hull FC have scored 12 tries in a clinical display to beat Widnes Vikings 72-10 in the Super League.

Both sides added two tries inside the opening 30 minutes, but a brace from Jamie Shaul just before the break helped open up a lead for Hull.

Despite a strong defensive spell from the Vikings at the start of the second half, Jacob Miller was able to extend the hosts' advantage.

The home team dominated the final 20 minutes, with Miller and Tom Briscoe completing braces, before a series of scores from Aaron Heremaia, Joe Arundel and Richard Whiting ensured that there was no way back into the contest for Widnes.

The result leaves Hull eighth in the Super League table.
