Toronto v Salford plum tie of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup 5th Round
Published:
The draw for this year’s Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Fifth Round has been made with the clash between the Toronto Wolfpack and Salford Red Devils arguably the headline tie.
The ceremony took place live on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Breakfast Show this morning with former Great Britain, England and Wigan Warriors star Jason Robinson OBE picking out the home balls.
Breakfast Show presenter Rachel Burden had the honour of drawing the away sides.
Having seen off Championship outfit London Broncos in the Fourth Round, Toronto face another Transatlantic trip with the AJ Bell Stadium their next destination.
And it’s fair to say the Wolfpack are feeling pretty chuffed…
