Saturday 2pm kick-off, UK time.

 

Sad to see a toulouse team with less french starting players than the catalans. But it must be the only way to get to the next level. I must say that both are doing good things for developing young french players though. It looks for the moment like dragons are really looking at promoting the french.

A bit off topic, but 2 decent looking RL kits on show in this match.

It is ridiculous.  White-white-white vs White-white-white.

 

Nice opening score from the fullback mind, buy the it is seriously hard to tell who is who.

[damp squib]

Kheirallah in for his second try and conversion after a bad misses tackle by James Maloney.

Dragons 6 - 12 Toulouse

[Archie Gordon]

TOXIII spine a class above the Dragons spine so far.

[damp squib]

Another try for TO - Mitch Garbutt I think.

Tolouse in complete control. They'll really benefit from a bit more heft up front this year.

Catalans 6 - 16 Toulouse

[Spidey]

Toulouse look like they’d do some damage in the Championship for sure. They just need to be able to play games

As far as the strips go, it is liberte, fraternite and a little too much egalite.

[damp squib]

Fouad Yaha in for Les Dracs

Catalans 10 - Toulouse 18 (I hadn't added the conversion last time)

 

 

[Bearman]

Brad 12 Keigh 12 @ Half time ( late due to injury)

[Futtocks]

Kheirallah does his "rat up a drainpipe" impression again. Catalans 10:22 Toulouse at half time.

[Man of Kent]

24-10 TO half time. Totally deserved. Much more creative and the pack is holding its own. Watch out Championship!

With a 22-10 half time score in favour of Toulouse against what seems like a full strength Catalan team, they would do some damage in Super League! 

Catalans don't look great, to be fair!

[The Frying Scotsman]

Just now, Saint 1 said:

They don't, but I don't think they're playing horrendously either. TO also haven't been faultless, there's been plenty of questionable last tackle options for example! 

Agreed. To be quite honest mate, I'm not sure they (TO) would "do some damage on Super League" although looking at them today they would probably skittle the Hull KRs and Wakefields of the world easily enough!

Mark Kheirallah by far the best full back outside of super league. Remember THAT try in the last World Cup? 

[The Frying Scotsman]

Dracs in front now 28-27

[Futtocks]

The Toulouse defence is tiring now. 32:24 with KTC.

[Futtocks]

Catalans 40:28 Toulouse in the end. Some decent Rugby played by both sides.

[unapologetic pedant]

In this afternoon`s game the ref allowed the players to roll the ball and make no attempt to play it with the foot. The same was true in last week`s Catalans/XIII du President game. The same refs, when they resume officiating Elite 1 fixtures, will penalise this practice. The officials must be told to apply debased RFL standards.

Clear evidence that the PTB rules are different in England from elsewhere, and that the RFL`s guidelines are lies.

At the moment we have different PTBs in different parts of the world. In the case of France, the PTB rules for domestic games are different from those in games connected to English competitions.

What will the rules be at the World Cup? Will opposing teams be allowed to play to different rules in the same game? With the organisers hoping nobody notices.

We don't have six again in elite and have scrums. You cant place the ball on the floor and roll it with your foot in france as they say knock on. But they do this in Australia. You have to roll the ball back and touch it with the foot.
