Tim Sheens says there will be no excuses for defeat as his Hull KR side prepare to make history by becoming the first English Super League club to play a match in Canada.
Former Australia coach Sheens' side are the second opponents in the Super 8s qualifiers for Toronto Wolfpack, who topped the second-tier rugby league Championship at their first attempt and began their final assault on Super League with a 14-0 win at Halifax last Sunday.
Hull KR will have two days in Toronto to prepare for Saturday's game at the city's Lamport Stadium after numerous scare stories about players being denied visas to enter the country.
It is thought Sheens' fellow Australian Todd Carney, who joined KR last month, was one of three players forced to travel to London to make their applications in person to the High Commission.
"Preparations have finally been going well," Sheens, 67, said.

"We've had some well-documented issues here and there but everybody has their visas sorted and we know our itinerary for the trip.
"The players over here aren't used to making this sort of journey. We go to Catalans and Toulouse but it's not the same, whilst in Australia teams have to fly over to New Zealand but again the trip isn't as long, nor is the time difference as great.
"Players do get more used to travelling and staying in hotels over there though compared with Super League.
"There's been a fair amount of work in getting everything sorted and credit to the people involved for pulling it together."
