The Bulls visit France twice inside a fortnight after drawing Catalans Dragons in the Carnegie Challenge Cup.

Steve McNamara’s side travel to Perpignan on the weekend of April 4-5 in a massive fourth-round clash – just two weeks after heading there in Super League.

The fixture, which may be televised, is one of five all-Super League ties, the pick being Leeds Rhinos hosting champions St Helens.

Bulls star Steve Menzies was at tonight’s draw at Headingley Carnegie and admits he now can’t wait to get his first taste of the game’s most famous competition.

“It’s a great concept,” said the Australian, in his first season in England.

“They showed some footage of past cup matches and all the prestige of actually playing in it got me more excited again.

“Getting to Wembley and playing in the Challenge Cup final was one of the big attractions about coming here and I might only get one chance of doing it, so I’m going to make the most of it.

“It’ll be pretty interesting playing Catalans twice in two weeks and it’s strange seeing so many Super League teams paired together.

“But that means if we get through there’ll be plenty others out. It makes it all the more important we do succeed.”

Fourth-round draw: Wakefield v Leigh, Halifax v Widnes, Oldham v Lezignan, Leeds v St Helens, Cougars v Castleford, Catalans Dragons v Bulls, Featherstone v Wath Brow Hornets, Hull v Salford, Doncaster or Queens v Gateshead, Harlequins v Huddersfield, Barrow v Wigan, Sheffield v Dewsbury, Warrington v York, Swinton v Rochdale, Batley v Kells or Hunslet, Hull KR v Celtic Crusaders.
