Rugby League – Super League: Toulouse faces the Beattles of Saint-Helens at Ernest-Wallon
The Toulouse Olympique welcomes St Helens the last winner of the Super League on Saturday March 19 in the early evening. The leader of the event, a big challenge awaits Toulouse
The summary – After Huddersfield, Warrington, Wigan, another reference of the event comes to sully the grass of Ernest-Wallon. In the treizist universe, the “Saints” are the equivalent of Liverpool in the world of football. On the other side of the Channel, St Helens is the benchmark with nine Super League titles won between 1996 and 2021, including three in recent years. And to give a little more height to this institution of the game, thirteen FA Cups are added to this incredible list. The seventeen players that Kristian Woolf will check off at the start of the evening on the score sheet are Beatles. They play perfectly, they know how to do everything. After five days, Christian Woolf’s men have had only successes, the last of which was against Warrington (28-2). On their roadmap, the trip to Toulouse must end with a sixth victory. In this opposition of extremes, the holder of the Super League leaves with the favor of the prognosis.
Competitors lead > Castleford, Wakefield, Leeds- After five rounds, Toulouse is still void of victory and points in the standings, which puts it in last place. At this stage of the event, Toulouse now have an eye on their main direct competitors, which are Castleford (beaten Thursday evening in Wigan 32-22), Leeds which moves to Salford and Wakefield which goes to Warrington. Remember that two points separate Olympic Toulouse from these three main direct competitors.
