Fresh Wolves are up for the Cup

RUGBY League has just one focus this weekend... Wembley Stadium!

- 

The final of the world's oldest RL knockout competition takes place this afternoon when Warrington Wolves take on Hull Kingston Rovers in the Challenge Cup Final (kick-off 3pm, live BBC One).

A casual observer might make Hull KR warm favourites to lift the famous old trophy this afternoon for the first time since 1980 when they downed cross-city rivals Hull 10-5.

Rovers sit at the summit of Super League at the moment and since disposing of Catalans Dragons 36-16 in their semi-final four weeks ago, they have continued on their merry way with three more victories including a 31-12 triumph at Warrington a fortnight ago.

Even last weekend, when some pundits were predicting pre-Wembley nerves would make them vulnerable against an in-form St Helens team, they blasted past Paul Wellens' men to win 34-4. (At least one foolish... er... 'pundit' actually predicted a Saints win!)

Head coach Willie Peters has been doing a fantastic job and has made no concessions towards today's massive game in his team selections in the build-up.
