    Hull FC v Wigan (15:00 BST)

    Hull and Wigan will meet each other in a Challenge Cup final for the fourth time today. Wigan have won all three of those previous encounters.

    There was an absolute classic in 1985 - widely considered one of the best finals in history - while the most recent was in 2013.

    I was fortunate enough to be at that final, which will probably be remembered for the ridiculously wet conditions more than anything else. I think I'm still drying off four years on.

    On that day, tries from Iain Thornley and Sam Tomkins helped Wigan to a 16-0 win and a record 19th Challenge Cup victory.
