Clare Balding presents coverage of the Challenge Cup fifth-round tie between Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors at Headingley.
Wigan have enjoyed unrivalled success in the Challenge Cup, winning the competition a record 17 times, but they haven't had their hands on the trophy since shocking St Helens at Murrayfield in 2002.
Warriors coach Brian Noble tasted Challenge Cup success with Bradford Bulls in 2003 and he will be desperate for the victory here that would see the cherry and whites just two games away from a final appearance at the revamped Wembley Stadium.
However, Rhinos coach Tony Smith will be equally determined to ensure it's his team in the hat for the next round. The Australian leaves Headingley at the end of the season to become Great Britain coach, and winning the Challenge Cup would be the perfect way to end to his four years with Leeds.
