Wolfpack players still sacrificing their bodies as rugby team nears promotion
TORONTO — As a spirited Toronto Wolfpack practice continued around him Wednesday, forward Dan Fleming received medical attention for a nose that refused to stop bleeding.
Winger Liam Kay exited a little later, an icebag wrapped around his knee.
Twenty games into their inaugural season with the finish line in sight, the Toronto Wolfpack (18-1-1) are still willing to bleed and ache for the cause. A win or tie against the second-place Barrow Raiders (17-2-1) at Lamport Stadium on Saturday and the first-year rugby league side will win promotion to England’s second-tier Championship.
It is the biggest game of the young franchise’s short history.
