The Toronto Wolfpack began life in the second-tier Betfred Championship with a rousing 34-12 comeback win over the Leigh Centurions on Sunday. Liam Kay scored three tries to lead the Wolfpack, the transatlantic rugby team that earned promotion from the third-tier following a dominant inaugural 2017 season. Fresh off last season's League 1 title, Toronto makes their Rugby League Championship debut. Leigh finished 11th in the Super League last season with a 6-17-0 record and was relegated to the Championship after losing 26-10 to the Catalan Dragon. Toronto, meanwhile, won promotion from the Kingstone Press League 1 (now the Betfred League 1) by winning the third-tier league with a 20-1-1 record.
