CHALLENGE CUP FIFTH ROUND DRAW
Harlequins will host last year's Super League Grand Final winners in the Fifth Round of the Challenge Cup - though the London club's coach, Brian McDermott, believes that his team will thrive on being the underdogs.
He said: "The Rhinos are superb but we will be pressure-free against Leeds. They will be expected to win so the pressure will be on them.
"Their coach Brian McClennan has come out and said that he wants Leeds to win the Cup. "I think he has every right to think that too, with the team he has got and the way they are playing. I don't think that is any arrogance on their part. "We will do the best we can." The fifth round ties will be played on May 9, 10 and 11.
The draw in full is:
Hull KR v Huddersfield
Barrow v Wakefield
Dewsbury v Oldham
Bradford v Catalans
Wigan v Whitehaven
Widnes v Hull FC
Harlequins RL V Leeds
St Helens v Warrington
