Coverage of this season's Challenge Cup begins with two mouth-watering all Super League encounters - Catalans Dragons v Bradford Bulls and Leeds Rhinos v St Helens.
大象传媒 Sport begins its coverage of this season's Challenge Cup with two mouth-watering all Super League encounters. First up, Phil Jones presents live coverage from the Stade Gilbert Brutus in Perpignan, as the 2007 runners-up Catalans Dragons host Bradford Bulls.
Then it is over to Clare Balding at Headingley for the tie of the round, as Leeds Rhinos entertain St Helens. These two clubs have lifted the Challenge Cup no fewer than 23 times between them but it is a decade since the blue and yellow ribbons of Leeds were last tied to the famous old trophy. St Helens have not been beaten in the competition since 2005. If any team can beat them, it is Brian McClennan's Leeds side, as they proved in last season's Super League Grand Final.
Ray French and Dave Woods are the commentators.
