Two sides face off on Friday evening both off the back of a loss as Wakefield Trinity travel to the DW Stadium to face Wigan Warriors.
Trinity fell short to Catalans on Friday evening as their former winger Tom Johnstone punished them with a hattrick in a 38-24 defeat.
Wigan played in the televised Channel 4 fixture and lost in front of a packed-out Craven Park and were also on the end of a hattrick, with Rovers skipper Shaun Kenny-Dowall solidifying the 27-18 win as he crossed over for a third time in the 75th minute.
The two youngest coaches in the competition now face off and it’s Wigan who are the overwhelming favourites and they’ve named a near full-strength squad to try earn them their first win.
Peet has named the same squad as he did for round one but will be hoping for a different outcome.
French and Field will look to combine as they did in this fixture last year during which they both bagged a brace as Wigan secured a 54-10 victory.
