Whitehaven will be facing up to Sheffield Eagles for the second time this afternoon, six days after they lost 11-4 at home in the first Championship game.
This is the second round of the Challenge Cup, which gets underway this weekend and will be one of three ties to be broadcast.
Saturday’s broadcast game is an all-Championship affair that will be aired on BBC iPlayer.
The winner of that match progresses to meet the 2024 and 2025 Challenge Cup runners-up Warrington Wolves.
Sunday’s two aired games kick off at 1.30pm with Widnes Vikings streaming their away clash with Thatto Heath Crusaders on YouTube, with the winner set to meet Leeds Rhinos.
Also at 1.30pm, Waterhead Warriors will host Rochdale Hornets for a chance to face Wigan Warriors. That game will be shown on the Sportsman Rugby League YouTube channel.
Whitehaven coach Anthony Murray has named a squad of 21 for the game and there are two changes from the one named last week for the home game.
Joe Lowe and Jake Pearce come in for Rio McQuistan and Jay Weatherill.
The squad is: Bailey, Bickerdike, Blinkhorn, Brennan, Brown, Burns, Eccleston Holgate, Holliday, Kellett, Lowe, Newbegin, Nixon, B Pearce, J Pearce, Shackley, Thomson, Todd, Turnbull, Walker-Taylor, Walker.
