A memorable 2021 season in the Betfred Championship, it's the top two in the league who take their place in the Championship's showpiece event.

Toulouse secured their place thanks to a remarkable campaign where they didn't lose a single game and went on to claim the League Leaders' Shield.

They then ran out 51-12 winners over Batley on Saturday in the play-off semi finals, their first home game of the season.

the the opposite camp, Featherstone Rovers have been a class apart from much of their Championship opponents in 2021, losing just once in the league - a the hands of Toulouse.

That 23-6 home reverse on August 1 was played in front of a crowd of 3,500 people and was their first league defeat in 694 days.

Rovers - who also won the 1895 Cup at Wembley this year - would go on to win the rest of their games in 2021 and earned their spot in the Million Pound Game in style, overwhelming rivals Halifax Panthers 42-10 last time out.

Two sides who have clocked up 1,641 points between them in just 35 games going head-to-head for a place in Super League for 2022, it's not to be missed on Sunday night!
