Toulouse knocked out of Challenge Cup

Toulouse made a spirited and enthusiastic challenge but where eventually overcome by the favourites from the Engage Super League. The Icelandic volcanic cloud meant the Toulouse had to endure a 24-hour coach and ferry journey to St Helens.

The teams were very close for much of the first half before Flannery raced through for the try that effectively killed off the French resistance two minutes before the break After the break St Helens piled on the tries before the unstoppable Fa'asavalu charged over for his second, to bring up the half-century as the Frenchmen tired. Toulouse grabbed a late consolation try when Martin Mitchell barged over.

Saints assistant coach Kieron Purtill paid tribute to the travel-weary French side; "They played some nice football, they have some internationals in there. They will ruffle a few feathers in the Championship and put a package together to apply for Super League so we knew what they were capable of."^[2]
