The last time Toronto faced the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Grey Cup, Robbie Smith delivered one of the biggest plays in Argonauts championship history. Two years later as Toronto prepares for a rematch with Winnipeg on Sunday at B.C. Place Stadium, Smith’s clutch performance is but a distant memory.

"It's something I try to live by because every day is a new day and I try not to live in the past. I'm going into a new situation, it's a new slate." The resilient Bombers opened the season with four straight losses and a 2-4 record before reeling off eight straight victories, losing one, and then capturing their regular-season finale to finish atop the West Division.
Toronto swept Winnipeg 2-0 this season but only by a combined five points. The Argos defence registered 12 sacks and nine turnovers . The contest will be one of conflicted allegiances for Winnipeg centre Chris Kolankowski's family. The six-foot-one, 309-pound Kolankowski is a Toronto native who began his CFL career with the Argos, earning a 2017 Grey Cup ring."That was tough because I live downtown and saw the celebrations and advertisements of when the Grey Cup was there," he said."In-season, I like playing there because I have a lot of family in Toronto.
