RUGBY LEAGUE CHALLENGE CUP SEMI FINALS

Rugby league is slightly different to rugby union as one of the main differences is that you have got 6 tackles a where you have to bring a man down to the ground. After your 6^th tackle you give the ball to the opposition so on the if the team with the ball usually kick it into the opposition  line another thing is the forty twenty where if you kick the ball from your own forty and into the position twenty metre line you get the ball. If the opposition touch the ball in any way and you are able to control it then you start at 0. The challenge cup is the English Knockout competition 

LEEDS V ST HELENS

Leeds Rhinos will be without forward Stevie Ward (ankle) but Joel Moon returns from his own ankle problem.

Rhinos skipper Kevin Sinfield is set to play in his 11th and final Challenge Cup semi-final while prop Jamie Peacock is playing in a 10th last-four tie.

St Helens have hooker James Roby fit again and he is the only change to the squad, replacing Lewis Charnock.

Saints finished one point and one place behind Leeds after the first 23 matches of the season.

Leeds have won both meetings between the sides so far this season - they were 41-16 winners at Langtree Park in April and beat last year's Grand Final winners 46-18 at home at the start of July.

Saints are looking to reach a Wembley final for the first time since 2008, while holders Rhinos are aiming to reach their fifth final in six years.
