Challenge Cup quarter-final draw: here's who Wakefield Trinity, Hull KR, St Helens & others will play
Wakefield Trinity have been handed a home draw in the Challenge Cup quarter-finals.
Trinity, who beat Leeds Rhinos in round four last Friday, will play host to Wigan Warriors on the weekend of April 11/12. Coach Daryl Powell’s side are bidding to reach the Cup final for the first time since 1979, having won the 1895 competition at Wembley two years ago.

The full draw is: St Helens v Catalans Dragons, Wakefield Trinity v Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves v Leigh Leopards, Hull KR v York Knights.
