Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Fifth Round Draw The draw for the fifth round of the 2017 Ladbrokes Challenge Cup saw the introduction of the four Super League sides who competed in the middle eights competition in 2016.
The draw was broadcast live on BBC 5 Live's Breakfast Show, and across other BBC media, with the teams being drawn out by rugby league league legend Jason Robinson, and Breakfast Show presenter Rachel Burden.

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?
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.
Gareth Walker @garethwalker 2h2 hours ago More 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

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.

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
