Rhinos chomping at the bit

Leeds scrum-half Rob Burrow insists the Rhinos can pull off an upset in Saturday's Challenge Cup semi-final.

Leeds were beaten 28-18 in last year's Challenge Cup final by Wigan and face the Warriors in the last four at the Galpharm Stadium - and once again they are underdogs.

But the England international is confident the Super League leaders can be toppled on Saturday. He told Sky Sports: "All the boys are chomping at the bit to get to Wembley again and this time we are going to end on the positive side of it.

"So we will be trying everything. We have got a big obstacle in Wigan to overcome but the lads are confident we are going to do that."

But Burrow talks down the idea of avenging last year's Wembley defeat - because it might affect the Rhinos' focus and performance.

He added: "You have got to be careful about getting revenge and stuff because you can go out there and play for revenge and not play well.

"So whilst we do probably owe them one, we will just be focusing on our game and trying to get things right. And if we play anywhere near our best then we are going to take some beating."
