Sky Sports Rugby League caught up with Toronto Wolfpack pair Mason Caton-Brown and Gareth O'Brien at their Manchester UK base on Tuesday.

With the Wolfpack set to play the Leeds Rhinos at Headingley on Friday night, live on Sky Sports Arena, in the final round of Qualifiers action, Caton-Brown, O'Brien and co could make history.

The Canadian outfit have their sights on a Super League place, but not even a win would guarantee it, despite moving them onto 10 points - both Salford and Hull KR could match that. While Toronto won't catch Salford's points difference, they are 12 better off than Hull KR.

Alternatively, a defeat could see the Wolfpack hang onto third spot if Hull KR were also to lose while not bettering Toronto's points difference and Toulouse or London don't overturn their respective points differences. Automatic promotion, the Million Pound Game and the Championship are all on the cards for the Wolfpack.

Ahead of that pivotal clash, Caton-Brown and O'Brien talk how tight the 2018 Qualifiers has been, playing rugby league in Canada and embracing the Canadian lifestyle.
