Wolfpack to face stiff challenge in Challenge Cup game with London Broncos
After beating one amateur and two semi-pro sides, the Toronto Wolfpack face a stiffer challenge from the fully professional London Broncos on Friday in the fourth round of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup.
The Wolfpack, rugby league’s first transatlantic team, outscored their first two Kingstone Press League 1 opponents by a combined 100-10 in the third tier of English rugby league. An amateur opponent was dispatched 14-6 in an earlier Cup match.
The Broncos are cut from a different cloth.
While no longer a member of the elite Super League, the London team stands fourth in the second-tier Championship with a 4-2-0 record and, like the Wolfpack, plays rugby league for a living.
