Come on get real would you expect the BEEB to show a match where a team from inside the M25 might get beaten by the northern rifraff. ie that is north of Watford.

Hopefully, they'll televise Quins in the quarter-finals...

Think they are also going for the history as well as this will be the first time for a challenge cup last 16 tie to be played by two non english sides too (according to League Express)

And Gareth Thomas's first game on BBC.

Also think that the last time the Quins ground was filmed there wasn"t hardly anyone there for the super league match .So a cup match might be even less which does not look good for rugby league.I think Wrexham can get more bums on seats as they have never had any cup games at the stadium and even if there is a small chance of getting to Wembly they will get behind Crusaders.
