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?

Re: Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Fifth Round Draw : Tue Mar 21, 2017 8:55 am  

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.
