Coach Jon Beale: "It's always a brilliant game in the programme, it's a prestigious competition and always a beneficial experience for the boys.

"With it being a knockout competition, it always adds that extra edge of competitiveness. Leeds are a strong team, and play against category one opposition week in, week out.

"We look forward to the challenge of facing a tough team as it'll be a good learning experience for us and hopefully, we look to progress to the next round as the boys have been fantastic over the last three months."
