Steve Bruce: "These opportunities are rare"

Hull City boss Steve Bruce believes that opportunities to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup are rare and urges his side to take their chance.

Hull City boss Steve Bruce believes that his side have to seize the moment to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup when they take on Sunderland on Sunday.

The Tigers have reached the last four of the competition just once in their history back in 1930, and Bruce believes that his players have to be aware of the opportunity in their hands.

Bruce told reporters: "The chance of an FA Cup semi-final doesn't come along too often, and we have seen great players who have not played in one.

"One of the greats of the game who recently left us, Sir Tom Finney, never won the FA Cup. That's the point I'll make to my team, that these opportunities are rare."

Hull beat Sunday's opponents Sunderland twice in the Premier League this season.
