0:00:21 > 0:00:25Rugby. You might know it for tough tackling, lightning-fast running,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27and incredible passing skills.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31But there are actually two different versions - rugby union
0:00:31 > 0:00:33and then this, rugby league.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35To give me a taste of the sport,
0:00:35 > 0:00:39I'm taking on a special Blue Peter challenge during half-time
0:00:39 > 0:00:41at the biggest and most historic
0:00:41 > 0:00:45match in the rugby league calendar - the Challenge Cup Final.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- COMMENTATOR: - And over it goes... Great try.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Under the guidance of my coaches, Kevin Sinfield and Paul Sculthorpe,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54I've learnt three of the skills I will need to use on the day.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Nice soft hands.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Passing...
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- ..tackling...- Perfect.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05..and kicking.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07THEY CHEER
0:01:07 > 0:01:10But am I ready to face a packed crowd at Wembley Stadium?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12It's time to find out.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15So, here we are.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17The big day has finally arrived, and as you can see,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19it's hard to miss - we're at Wembley Stadium
0:01:19 > 0:01:22for the Challenge Cup Final between Wigan and Hull.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27The Challenge Cup is legendary.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31For more than 120 years, it's been rugby league's biggest prize,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35and has produced some unforgettable moments.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Now, can I create another one?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Probably not.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I am so nervous, because in just a few hours' time, I'm going
0:01:44 > 0:01:50to be inside there, on the pitch, at half-time in front of 65,000 people.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Uh-oh! The only problem is, at this point, I've got no opponent.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Step forward Faye Gaskin.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58She's an England international
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and will be my opponent for a half-time showdown.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Faye, the big day has arrived.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04How are you feeling now that we're here
0:02:04 > 0:02:06standing on the edge of Wembley?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I'm really nervous now we're here.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Wembley's massive, especially for anyone who plays rugby league.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13That doesn't make me feel good, that you're nervous!
0:02:13 > 0:02:14How do you think I feel?
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Do you know what?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24One of the coolest things about Blue Peter is the access we get.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I am currently on the pitch,
0:02:26 > 0:02:31and we've been told that we are allowed to touch this.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Here we go.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36This is the Challenge Cup trophy, and today,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38this is what it's all about.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41But that's not the only trophy up for grabs today.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Before the big match, the final of the national boys' year seven
0:02:44 > 0:02:47tournament takes place on the Wembley pitch.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Maybe the captain of Castleford's winning team, Noah,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52can settle my nerves.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Noah, buddy, high five!- Yes!- You are the winners. How you feeling?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I'm absolutely speechless, but it's an amazing feeling to win.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Right, I'm going to get serious, cos I'm going out at half-time,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04and I've got to kick a ball over the post.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Do you think I can do it?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Yes, if you believe in yourself that you can do it.- I like that!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10That's a very Blue Peter attitude.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Have you got any top tips for me?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Er, make sure you aim it and put a lot of power in.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Aim, power...- Aim, power... - Attitude.- Yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Those, my friends, are terrific top tips.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Sadly, the time for advice is over.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25WHISTLE BLOWS
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Kick off means we've got just 40 minutes until our challenge.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Faye and I will be head-to-head in a race to complete three
0:03:33 > 0:03:35training drills.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38First, we have to throw six passes,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41after which, we'll have to tackle our coaches, Kevin and Paul,
0:03:41 > 0:03:42six times.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Finally, the first to kick over the posts...wins.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51So, Faye, this is the actual tunnel,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53and we are about to walk onto the pitch.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56There's a lot of people out there. I'm excited, but I feel sick!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59WHISTLE BLOWS
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Nearly 70,000 people have just witnessed an action-packed
0:04:03 > 0:04:07first half, but the real show begins now.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15WHISTLE BLOWS
0:04:15 > 0:04:20We're off, and Kevin's passing training is working.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23By the time I've finished, Faye and I are neck and neck.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Now onto the tackles.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34This is exhausting.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Kevin and Paul are cheering us on every step of the way.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Well done, well done, well done!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I've managed to keep up with Faye, though.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43But hang on!
0:04:43 > 0:04:47In the confusion, I thought I'd finished tackles - I'm one short!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51My mistake means Faye has finished ahead of me.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53She just needs this kick to win.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01What?! She's hit the bar. Kick this, and I win.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I can't...
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Can I?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11CHEERING
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I can! How has this happened?!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19That was one of the most nerve-racking
0:05:19 > 0:05:21experiences of my whole life.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Faye missed it at the last second.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26But I managed to do it.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I'm so out of breath, but all for the Blue Peter badge.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Incredible.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34A massive thank you to our coaches, Kevin and Paul,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36and of course to Faye.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40With their help, I actually scored the winning kick at Wembley Stadium.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Who else can say that?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Join in every Thursday on CBBC.
