Toronto Wolfpack to play Bradford Bulls in new Transatlantic Challenge
TORONTO — The Toronto Wolfpack will take on the Bradford Bulls on Friday to kick off what is being dubbed Transatlantic Challenge.
The pre-season series will see the two rugby league teams play in England and North America in 2018 and 2019.
The Bulls will host the Wolfpack at the Provident Stadium on Friday with the Transatlantic Trophy UK on the line. The second leg of the challenge will be in January 2019, likely somewhere in the U.S. as rugby league looks to showcase the game in North America.
Wolfpack director of rugby Brian Noble played at and coached Bradford.
