Can anyone shed some light on how a Toulouse player tackling a York player while he's trying to play the ball is a penalty to Toulouse?

The York player attempted to play the ball before he'd regained his feet.

Two cracking tries in back to back sets. York not really in the game yet.

[YCKonstantine]

Why isnt that play on?

Remember back around 2000 Widnes won at Hunslet, lost at Dewsbury and then had to go back to Hunslet.

Where we lost!!!

Yep, and the rules were changed following that, because it was recognised as being a bit silly. Obviously the lesson needs to be learned again.

[JonM]

Really nice try for York from the scrum and a great touchline conversion from Robinson

[Bearman]

Wow! What a try to TO

[JonM]

Superb play for the try, bit of a sucker punch on the stroke of half-time when York had been on top for a decent spell without scoring.

[Harry Stottle]

Sat here willing York on, but really want Toulouse to win, as a Leigh Fan andI woukd suggest Fev fans feel the same,  they would sooner York lose and have the opportunity to go and support their team next week.

Pity there's no action replay. That last try was a good un!

[Harry Stottle]

Has that dance troop all got worms?

Have to wait until the TO match highlights come out; usually 24hrs after the match or so.

Am loving the half time entertainment

It’s odd because some Our League streams have had replays shown 

[DoubleD]

How many ex Hull FC and Hull KR players do York have? 

It seems like they’re Hull reserves 

[Jeff Stein]

Some wonderful tries from TO. They just don't seem to do ugly drive overs 

[GeordieSaint]

34-6

[Wellsy4HullFC]

A scoreboard would be handy on this broadcast.

I think it's 40-6.

Toulouse look good. I'm glad they're moving ground though because that one looks awful.

[GeordieSaint]

40-6 now according to the BBC. Score justified or has the game been closer?

[CanadianRugger]

Toulouse are killing it.  Should be a cracking match when they play Toronto next week!

Toulouse score again, Robin the machine!

York look out of it.

Dark horses Toulouse; they nearly won in Toronto last year in the Super 8s. Toronto's promotion is no way a given (or either TO/TWP making the final!). Looking forward to the next week and the final immensely.

It’s generally been a bit closer but Toulouse do what Toulouse do and any slip up or mistake by York and they pounce on it and are ruthless

I agree, they are a quality side that play exciting football.  Robin and Kheirallah are two of my favorite players in this competition.  Robin is such a dynamic player and really pairs well with Ford.

I think Toronto is better prepared this year than they were last year.  The Super 8s were a real grind.  Exciting stuff but you could see it wore the teams out near the end.

Robin played well, but he might be banned now for the next 6 matches which will be a big loss for TO

I hope not!  I want to see the Josh McCrone/Stanislas Robin show next week!  With guest appearances from Gareth O'Brien/Mark Khierallah

On the handful of times I have seen TO, I really enjoy watching them.
