Matty Russell leads the way as Toronto Wolfpack cruise to rugby league win
ROCHDALE, England — Winger Matty Russell scored four tries Sunday as the Toronto Wolfpack cruised to a 58-6 win over the Rochdale Hornets in Betfred Championship play.
The game was a matchup of the top and bottom teams last year in the second tier of English rugby league.
Toronto, which topped the Championship at 20-2-1 in 2018, was coming off a season-opening 14-0 win at York City Knights. Rochdale, which finished at the bottom of the 12-team Championship last season with a 4-19-0 record, had its opener — against Dewsbury Rams — called off due to a frozen pitch.
