Just two years after inception, the Toronto Wolfpack are only 80-minutes away from promotion to the English Super League.

First, they must get past the London Broncos in the winner-takes-all 'Million-Pound Game' this Monday. 

It has been an incredible rise from the Wolfpack, who are starring down the barrel of a second straight promotion through the English rugby league pyramid. 

In its debut year, the club coasted through League One and would go on and dominate The Championship in 2017. 

And the success has translated off-field, with a crowd average of 8,000. 

It's an incredible number for a rugby league team in Canada and owners of the club are already looking forward targeting the 30,000-capacity BMO Field, home of MLS side Toronto FC as their home ground. 

The squad boasts a heavy-Aussie contingent including NRL Premiership winner Reni Maitua as well as Ashton Sims, Darcy Lussick and are led by former Raider Josh McCrone. 

You can catch the Million-Pound game between the Wolfpack and Broncos Monday morning from 4:55am (AEDT) on Fox League.
