The RFL have confirmed that Bramall Lane in Sheffield will host the Carnegie Challenge Cup final replay should the match between Leeds and Wigan end in a draw.

The replay, should it need to be played, is scheduled for Wednesday September 7 with a 7.30pm kick-off.

The Challenge Cup final has gone to a replay on only three occasions in its 113-year history: in 1910, 1954 and most recently in 1982, when Hull FC defeated Widnes 18-9 at Elland Road, Leeds, after the sides drew 14-14 at Wembley.
