Siddal v Swinton -Possibly at The Shay, though Halifax are at Home too so could depend on what Football is due to be played.

York City Knights v Wigan St Patricks

Featherstone Rovers v The Army

Queens v Doncaster - Perhaps at headingley? Cost could be prohibitive though

Pilkington Recs v Batley - Knowsley Road?

Barrow v Blackpool

Gateshead v Whitehaven

Workington v Lezignan

Leigh Centurions v Lokomotiv Moscow

Oldham v Sharlston

Sheffield Eagles v Toulouse

Leeds Met Carnegie v Rochdale Hornets - What are the Uni Facilities like? Rochdale won't bring more than a few Hundred.

Widnes Vikings v Saddleworth

Wath Brow Hornets v London Skolars - Possibly at The Recre? or even Wath Brow's place as, no disrespect, Skolars won't fill a coach.

Keighley v Pia

Kells v Hunslet= Played Halifax at The Recre a few years ago. but Wath Brow may also want to play there. maybe one of the games switch to Saturday?

Halifax v Loughborough University

Dewsbury v Carcassonne

I'm not sure what the qualification system is for the french sides is, I presume Catalan and Toulouse are guranteed entry though.

Last year there was a second Russian qualifier but I'm assuming becasue they got tonked 64-12 by Leigh miners they have done away with the second placed RRL qualifier
