could well be one sided mate .cant see it really cause saints have just started to play some good stuff and might make a game of it

More likely some chinless producer thought it would be a hoot to have an opportunity for Davies & French to rabbit on about their times with their respective clubs.

We might even get to the point where Siadwell starts duffing up the pensioner on live TV

I wonder how many Widnes and Saints fans also follow their local soccer teams. There was a mention last night on the radio that the Challenge Cup game happens to coincide with the FA Cup semi-final between Everton and Liverpool. Not much chance of seeing the rugby on a pub television anywhere in Merseyside. (I'm assuming the soccer is on Sky).

No time set for semi final. looking like a lunch time affair after Man City & United ran riot around wembley last year. Will be either on ESPN or ITV

The soccer will be on either ITV or ESPN and you will be right about the chances of the rugby being shown in pubs if on at the same time, and not just in Merseyside. With the Grand National being on at the same time (it is usually at around 3:00-3:45 pm) as the first half of Fev v Cas as well there might not be many pubs showing that game either (Except around Fev and Cas). Better to stay at home and watch them if you aren't attending in both cases.

Rafe Wrench is ex-Widnes too, of course. But presumably itll be Dave Woods as the beeb only have one game over the weekend?
