More injury woe for Hull KR as two stars sidelined

Hull KR, who hosted the draw, are the other Super League club involved at this stage and they have a home tie against Championship leaders Leigh Centurions.

Bradford boss John Kear will relish going back to one of his former clubs Wakefield and no doubt look to cause another upset after the Championship club knocked Leeds Rhinos out of the competition last year.

Kear won the Challenge Cup with Hull FC in 2005 when Trinity chief Chris Chester was one of his players and they worked together at Belle Vue before Kear switched to Odsal.

The ties will be played over the weekend of March 14/15.
