Halifax away fixture at Toronto on 28 April, to be switched to England. https://www.halifaxrlfc.co.uk/article/5 ... fpack-away Wonder how many home games they will play in Canada, and if this is why their home game against Toulouse has been switched to Newcastle?

And the team may have some leeway to make up - if they lose half a dozen 'away' matches before they return home.

Probably realised they have to minimise amount of time their english based players are away from their families plus there may be visa issues as I would think they are employed by a UK based subsidiary.
