Fax, who beat Lee Greenwood’s side at the Shay in the Championship earlier this year, must travel to Rams Stadium on May 11-12.

But Richard Marshall’s side, shock 24-16 fifth round winners over Super League outfit London last week, will be cautiously optimistic over the prospects of a quarter final showpiece if they can perform at their best.

Sixth round draw: Salford Red Devils v Hull Kingston Rovers, Dewsbury Rams v Halifax, Warrington Wolves v Wigan Warriors, Bradford Bulls v Leeds Rhinos, Hull FC v Castleford Tigers, Catalans Dragons v Doncaster, Huddersfield Giants v St Helens, Wakefield Trinity v Widnes Vikings
