In the other last-four tie, Huddersfield Giants will play Warrington Wolves.
Denis Betts’ Women’s booked their spot with a 44-4 victory over Cardiff Demons, and will play Leeds Rhinos, who swept aside Warrington Wolves 70-10 in the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, current holders St Helens will take on York Valkyrie.
The semi-finals of both competitions will be played as Men’s/Women’s double-headers on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May. Venues and ticketing arrangements are to be announced.
Both finals will be played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 8 June, as part of a finals day triple-header alongside the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup Final.
