Leigh Centurions v. Hull KR
Featherstone Rovers v. Oldham
Leeds Rhinos v. Doncaster
Salford Red Devils v. Toronto Wolfpack
Whitehaven/Oxford v. Halifax
Dewsbury Rams v. Batley Bulldogs
Huddersfield Giants v. Swinton Lions
York City Knights v. Barrow Raiders

Damn, some cracking ties there.
Leigh v Rovers and Salford v Toronto will both be very interesting.
How many of these will be televised, does anyone know?

None AFAIK. BBC don't start live TV games until next round

Did the Rugby League loving Rachael Burden talk union with Robinson?

Of course she did. Just couldn't help herself.
And she also referred to the draw for the Super League cup and got the Wigan Widnes cup final score the wrong way round.

Hmm, they've shown at least one match every round so far (online), hopefully they keep that trend going.

Checked with RFL. There is NO Sky game in fifth round - the BBC will however stream another match. Up to 11 televised games after fifth

Shame they are not jumping at televising a round early, but the costs shoot up. I'd be more than happy to watch a game each day however through the website.

to be fair i thought the whole thing came across pretty well, even RB sounded enthusiastic - i had just got up at that stage though so might be wrong

Leigh & KR is a cracking tie plus, Dewsbury v Batley.
Salford will demolish Toronto, who would have made a more interesting tie against Championship opposition.

Leigh v KR

The BBC roving sports reporter (Kat something or other) on Monday morning referred to League Leaders "Castlesfield" (exactly how she pronounced it!) losing for the first time yet reeled off the names of a couple of gompers who throw themselves off a ski slope dressed in lycra for a living. They really don't make any effort do they? Did they do the draw properly this time? No Woking Town or Keeley?

Leigh v KR appeals, so far this season Leigh have upset a fair few more highly rated teams. Be interesting to see whether the reverse scenario happens.

Batley and Dewsbury should be good for the odd punch up though the latter seem to be a poor side this year. Pity, as they've had some very tight encounters in recent years.

A shame there won't be a game televised on the BBC, but streaming a game is some consolation. Hopefully they pick Leigh v Hull kr, who will want revenge for Leigh taking their Super League place.
