How to watch Toronto vs Featherstone in 2019’s Million Pound Game
On Sunday 6 October, it's Toronto Wolfpack vs Featherstone Rovers in a play-off for £1 million and promotion to the Super League.
Toronto vs Featherstone in the Million Pound Game is on Sunday 6 October (Australian time), with a Super League berth on the line. It's a game that has £1 million up for grabs and promotion to the 2020 Super League. In other words, the stakes couldn't be higher for Toronto Wolfpack and Featherstone Rovers. This match is huge and for Australians, the NRL has nothing like it.
This game could really have huge ramifications for rugby league across the world if Toronto win. The Wolfpack would become the first Canadian side to join a top-flight competition. The Toronto club has only existed since 2016 but has achieved rapid success. Rugby league could benefit greatly from exposure into Canada and into major North American markets.

Who will win Toronto vs Featherstone?
Starting with Featherstone there's no question the odds are stacked against them. They're lacking the same calibre of players as Toronto and weren't even expected to beat Toulouse last week. The Rovers though can embrace underdog status yet again. The best chance they have is to grind out a gritty game to break the Wolfpack's hearts for the second year in a row.
Toronto are stacked with ex-NRL players and made it to this game last year. It'd be hard to see them lose two years in a row and spend another season in the Championship. The abundance of big-match experience for the Wolfpack will likely see them win and receive promotion to the Super League.
Players to watch
Wolfpack outside-back Ricky Leutele is reportedly the highest paid centre in the world: that includes Roosters superstar Latrell Mitchell. Leutele won a premiership with Cronulla Sharks in 2016. This is his first year at the Wolfpack and he is easily a cut above this level of competition.
Former NRL journeyman Cameron King has enjoyed a strong season at hooker for Featherstone. He leads the club in tries with 12 for the season. If Featherstone are to cause an upset this weekend it'll hinge on King's ability to cause havoc around the ruck.
