HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS host Castleford Tigers at the John Smith’s Stadium on Friday night.
Neither side went into the draw for the Challenge Cup Quarter-Final following disappointing defeats last weekend with the Giants going down to the Salford Red Devils in a high-scoring affair.
Castleford, meanwhile, were woeful in defeat against Hull FC who ran out 32-8 winners.

The Tigers will welcome back Liam Watts and Bureta Faraimo from suspension, with halfback Jacob Miller recovering from a head knock. Elliott Wallis also returns after being cup tied against Hull.
