Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors have trips to the Huddersfield Giants and Hull KR respectively in the fifth round draw of the Challenge Cup.

Speaking after the draw, Rhinos coach Brian McDermott believes Huddersfield will start as favourites to win the Cup tie. "If we are going to get back to Wembley it is going to be the tough route again and I don't think this draw could have been any tougher," McDermott said. "Huddersfield will be clear favourites. They are second in the table with only leaders Wigan having scored more points than them this season. "They defeated us earlier in the season and will be on their own patch so we know it will take a special performance from us to beat them."
