Sheffield Eagles hooker Andrew Henderson is hoping to secure family bragging rights in Perpignan on Saturday April 28 (5.30pm) by leading the Championship club to victory over younger brother Ian and his Catalan Dragons side in a Carnegie Challenge Cup fifth round tie.
The Eagles have been in great form so far this season and Henderson has been a key figure but the Scotland international knows they will face their toughest test of the season so far as they aim to overturn a high-flying Catalan side on their home patch.
"We played well against York in the last round so it was great to get through and have our name in the hat for the fifth round," said Henderson. "We've been working a lot on our attacking shape this season and we've been high scoring so far, but the worrying aspect for us is that we've been conceding too many points in defence.
"That's something we're going to have to rectify quickly if we're going to stand a chance against Catalan. They'll test us like we've never been tested before and they have strike players all over the pitch so we'll have to be very clever. But we're going out there in a positive frame of mind and we're confident we can put in a big performance on the pitch."
Sheffield are currently riding high in the Co-operative Championship and will be hoping to build on their Grand Final defeat to Featherstone Rovers last season but Henderson says victory over Catalan and brother Ian in the Challenge Cup would be extra special.
"Ian was over here last week and we've had a bit of banter about the game," he said. "We're both very pleased with the draw we got and it's great to have that sibling rivalry as it adds another element to the game for me personally.
"To test yourself against your brother and some of the best players in the world is a great opportunity and one I'm looking forward to. Our other brother Kevin will also be there watching in the stands so it will be great to see all the family again, but on the pitch we'll be determined to out-do each other.
"It would be outstanding for us to progress and I'd certainly enjoy having the family bragging rights. It will be a tough ask but you never say never in the Cup because anything can happen and we know if we play to our best then we can put ourselves in a good position and come away with our heads held high.
"Leigh ran them close in the Cup last year and if we can stay strong defensively then we have every chance of sneaking an upset. The club and the players are excited and we're all looking forward to what promises to be a great weekend."

Source: www.scotlandrl.comScotland Rugby League are celebrating the arrival of their team in Australia today for the World Cup with the release of a new T-shirt celebrating the heritage of the game north of the border.
As you can see from the photos, Scotland forward Duncan MacGillivray went to work in his - at Wakefield Trinity's Belle Vue ground - and half-back Andrew Henderson - one of three brothers in the Scotland squad - showed his off in front of the Saltire!
It's the latest shirt in a series called Le Treize Patrimoine - French for 'The Rugby League Heritage' - and features the names of a string of Scottish rugby league stars of the past including Great Britain's 1954 World Cup winning captain Dave Valentine and team-mate David Rose, who scored one of GB's two tries in the final. Huddersfield legend Valentine and Rose are just two of seven Great Britain internationals on the T-shirt. The others are Wigan's 1929 Wembley hero Roy Kinnear (father of the comic actor with the same name and grandfather of current star West End actor Rory Kinnear); Leeds' prolific young winger of the 1950s, Drew Turnball; duel-code British Lion Alan Tait; Hull KR legend George Fairbairn (who became England's record points-scorer when there was no Scotland team in the 1980s); and Charlie Renilson, who went from Jed-Forest to Eastern Suburbs via Halifax, with whom he won the Championship in 1965.
Also on the T-shirt is maverick Whitehaven scrum-half Brian Shillinglaw and former Salford and Halifax forward, Hugh Duffy,who, like Rose, headed south from Jedforest in the 50s.
The high quality cotton T-shirts are priced 16.99 incl P&P come in size Large, XL or XXL and can be ordered by emailing rlbravehearts@hotmail.com or texting 'Scotland T' to 07796 442041.
Sales will be used to fund the Scotland RL Player of the Year Awards.
