Toronto Wolfpack ready for competitive debut in Ladbrokes Challenge Cup match
The challenge begins for real Saturday for the Toronto Wolfpack.
The trail-blazing transatlantic rugby league club plays its first competitive match, taking on Siddal in the third round of the knockout Ladbrokes Challenge Cup.
Toronto opens league play on March 4 at the London Skolars in the Kingstone Press League 1, the third tier of English rugby.
A successful amateur side in West Yorkshire, Siddal has sent players to the pro ranks and become a home for former pros. It is a well-established club with more than 350 players spread over 16 teams from youth to masters.
