• Two goals from Jarrod Samutt secure promotion
Super League will have a presence in the capital next year for the first time in four years, after London defeated Toronto in arguably the most important, cosmopolitan rugby league game in history to secure promotion via the Million Pound Game.
The Broncos, relegated from the top flight in 2014, were roundly written off as promotion candidates at the beginning of this season. But under their highly regarded coach, Danny Ward, and with a strong contingent of London-produced players – including their outstanding full-back, Alex Walker – they will be back in Super League in 2019 after winning a gritty, tense affair in Canada to deny Toronto promotion.
