Swinton 19 Toulouse 0, 63 mins

Swinton played welll against Sheffield, but I assumed that part of that was Sheffield being very disjointed. Looks like it was more Swinton being good.

19-6 now with 14 minutes to go.

[JonM]

Another try for TO, with 5 minutes left. 19-12. That drop goal may come in very handy.

Well done Lion's 

[Fevrover]

That is a good win for Swinton.

 

[Daft old hooker]

Well done that’s a massive win 

[Piggy's mate]

Don't think anyone saw that coming... well done Swinton

[The Phantom Horseman]

Tremendous win for Swinton. Toulouse really don't seem to be travelling well at all, to be fair they're still missing quite a few players but that wasn't a bad team they put out today on paper.

Not as many as Swinton are missing 

Barely a player in their correct position

That was a good TO team. Swinton must have played very well. They do have form against TO as they beat them at Blagnac in 2019.  I will get some feedback about the performance from No1 son...but not today, he will be spitting feathers tonight.

Just got back home. Absolutely brilliant win for the Lions. Well done boys.

[Expatknight]

Don’t think anyone predicted that! Cracking win for the Lions and it just shows how open the Championship is this season.

Oh I don't know about that, perhaps Swinton have prised a nail or two out with that result

Well done to all the Swinton players and coach Allan Coleman.

Its got the makings of a brilliant season come the end of it at both ends of the table. Fev will top it comfortably but won't go in to the playoffs with the air of invicibility that Leigh and Toronto had which should make for some great viewing later on. Then the bottom of the table how can anyone pick who is going down, usually at this point we have a good idea but not this season.

Really can't wait for the new grading system to come in..........

[Gooleboy]

Excellent win for Swinton! Well done.

Shocking that what happens on the field of play should be of any importance, isn't it?

[The Phantom Horseman]

Potentially cracking top-of-the-table clash between Fev and Sheffield today. Sheffield seem on the crest of a wave having celebrated the 25th anniversary of their Challenge Cup win this week, and you can be sure Tubbs will have them primed for a massive game today. Interesting to see if Fev can dominate what has looked a strong Eagles pack.

Living up to the billing, end-to-end stuff and 10-10 at half time. Fev playing down the slope 2nd half.
