SYLVAIN HOULES hailed his “magical” Toulouse Olympique after their best ever Super League win.
Toulouse were 60-18 victors over Catalans Dragons in Castres, in the first Magic Weekend game played on French soil.
Houles was delighted with the way his side played, saying: “I’m very happy for our team, our club and our players.
“I thought that we played some very good rugby and the conditions were there for us to play in that way.
“The boys prepared very, very well this week. I could feel it early, and they showed it.
“Everything clicked for us today. To score 60 points and get our first win against Catalans, it’s been pretty magical.
“It’s a big win for us. We’re very young in Super League but it’s games like this that give you confidence that we can compete at this level.
“The guys put in a lot of effort and they wanted to show what we were about with it being Magic Weekend. We wanted to be magical and I thought we were.”
