Toulouse are on a brilliant run of form - 11 match unbeaten run, scored 160 points in the last 4 games, nilled Doncaster, Batley & Fev in consecutive weeks, then only conceded 4 against Wakefield so their defence isn't too shabby either.

Think I'm right in saying that Doncaster haven't lost at home since the first half of April though.

Heading to the Keepmoat shortly. No expectations other than hoping to enjoy the game. It's taking part in games like this we wanted promotion for. It's been fun so far.

That's a great result for Donny.  Hope the club can provide Wakefield with a recording so Powell can see how it's done.

Didn't see that one coming, excellent result for Doncaster. 

[Rene_Artois]

Just incredible. Absolutely a masterclass in scrambling defence. In over 30 years of supporting the Dons it was the best I've ever seen. Hard to pick a mom but our spine of Guzdek, Boas, Robinson, Lovodua and McConnell were superb.

Just seen the final whistle celebrations, meant everything to the lads. Great to see.

Watching the game through Twitter and Facebook feeds (all being well, I'll be back at games soon), all I could pick up on were the scrambling efforts of everyone. Loui seems to cover a lot of ground every week.

Few little things that have arisen.
With his try today, Jason Tali now sits 4 tries behind the Dons Try Scoring Leader, Mark Roache.  
Other achievements coming soon -
Josh Guzdek is 2 appearances away from 200 career apps.
Connor Robinson is also 2 appearances away from 200 career appearances.
