The Challenge Cup's two most successful clubs will lock horns in the sixth round as Leeds Rhinos were drawn against 20-time winners Wigan Warriors. Leeds, 14-time winners, will host the defending champions in a clash that has delivered some interesting ties.
Catalans Dragons will host Warrington Wolves in a battle of two top Super League sides while Salford Red Devils will host Huddersfield Giants, two clubs that have recently reached the showpiece final. Castleford Tigers take on Hull FC while another all-Super League tie will see winless Wakefield Trinity take on Leigh Leopards.
World Club Champions, St Helens, take on five-time winners Halifax Panthers of the Championship, while Hull KR will also take on Championship opposition when they host Batley Bulldogs. There's also a fantastic opportunity for York Knights and London Broncos, with the two Championship clubs locking horns with one another with a place in the quarter-finals up for grabs.
