Last year's runners-up Huddersfield are at home to Hull KR while Wakefield visit Harlequins and Catalans Dragons host Salford.

Wigan meet Sheffield Eagles in a repeat of the famous 1998 Wembley final while St Helens, who won the trophy four times in a row up to 2008, are at home to Championship club Toulouse, one of four French clubs in the last 32.
