  11. What's with the delay?published at 14:04 British Summer Time 19 September 2020

    Warrington v St Helens (14:30 BST)

    So, with the season ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic, these quarter-finals are taking place just a bit later than usual.

    In fact the entire competition would have been decided several months before today's date had the virus not reared its head.

    The Rugby Football League opted to redraw the sixth round after Toronto, who also withdrew from Super League for this season, were joined in pulling out by Championship sides Featherstone Rovers, Sheffield, Widnes and York, as well as League One club Newcastle Thunder.

    After a delay to last week's Hull v Castleford sixth-round fixture due to players testing positive for the virus, it's full steam ahead for the quarter-finals.
