BBC Sport will roll back the years to the famous 1985 Challenge Cup Final between Wigan and Hull FC with coverage of the Fourth Round tie between the teams on Saturday March 15.

The match will kick off at 545pm at the Brick Community Stadium, with coverage on BBC iPlayer, Red Button and the BBC Sport website.

The Sportsman will show another heavyweight tie between St Helens and Leeds Rhinos on Friday night, March 14 – kicking off at 8pm.

It will be the second consecutive year the teams have met in the last 16, with Leeds aiming for revenge for the defeat they suffered at AMT Headingley in 2024.

Dates for the other six Fourth Round ties will be confirmed by the clubs in the coming days

the big challenge for me is can i get an Egyptian hotel to put rugby on. Tried last year and failed miserably, just football, football and football from anywhere across the globe

failing that, i may need a backup and take a tablet with iplayer on to watch it :)

Could be wrong but the last time I tried watching iplayer whilst abroad, the beeb said no.
Works with one of those firesticks though.

You have to use a VPN to get iplayer to work abroad. But its hit and miss if they block you.
