Hide AdFeatherstone Rovers face a tough trip to 2021 league leaders and Grand Final runners-up Catalans Dragons.
The derby between Leeds and Castleford will be the sides’ fifth Cup meeting of the summer era and first in the competition since the 2014 final at Wembley, which was won by Leeds.
Tigers won 15-12 at Headingley in 1998 and Rhinos gained revenge with a 42-12 success at the Jungle three years later. The 2011 semi-final, at Doncaster, went to golden point extra-time before a Kevin Sinfield penalty goal sent Rhinos through to the final.
Both coaches have Wembley success on their cv.
Lee Radford, the Tigers boss, guided Hull FC to successive Cup final triumphs in 2016 and 2017, while Leeds’ Richard Agar was in charge when they last lifted the trophy, two years ago.
