Rovers reached the last 16 thanks to a 23-16 victory over neighbours Castleford on Saturday in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

Their reward for taming the Tigers is another home clash, this time against a Warriors side that demolished North Wales Crusaders 98-4 at the DW Stadium on Sunday.

"Being at home, it's a fantastic draw for us," said Featherstone head coach Daryl Powell after getting the chance to face the current holders.

"It's a tough draw - they're an outstanding team full of quality individuals - but I thought we handled one of the better players in the competition in Rangi Chase pretty well and we'll try to come up with a plan deal with Sam Tomkins.

"I'm glad we're at home. We know it's a tough challenge for us but we're excited by it."

Potential

There could also be the potential for an upset at Mount Pleasant, where Batley Bulldogs will entertain London Broncos.

Batley coach John Kear knows all about being the underdog in the cup - he was in charge of the Sheffield Eagles team that famously beat Wigan in the 1998 final at Wembley.

There are also two all-Super League ties as Warrington - winners in 2009 and 2010 - welcome Bradford to the Halliwell Jones Stadium, while last year's beaten finalists Leeds travel across the Pennines to Salford.

The Rhinos gained a 56-16 victory over the Reds at the City of Salford Stadium in March, but coach Brian McDermott says it will have no relevance for when the teams meet again in the knockout competition.

"I know we've beaten them recently but that will have no bearing on this," he said.

"We won't take anything out of that game. Whether Salford do I'm not sure but I won't be bringing out that tape.

"We all know the Challenge Cup rounds are different to the League. If you don't get your game right on the day, Featherstone showed anything can happen."

Elsewhere, Championship club Sheffield head to France to face Catalan Dragons and there is also big away day for Swinton, who have been drawn against Huddersfield.

St Helens, who held off Widnes in the fourth round, make the short trip to Oldham, while the only contest not involving a top-flight team is Leigh v Halifax.
