Toulouse are on a roll at the moment, confidence is  sky high, a win by 15 points,

[Trinity1873]

Toulose have been on fire this last few games, be nice to see it continue.

TO by 16

The France v England women's test is also being played before the TO match at 18h00.

Les Dracs are so erratic this season that anything from a one-sided game either way to a very close encounter wouldn't surprise me.

Incidentally, for lovers of quirky statistics, when York opened their scoring against Toulouse, it was the first points that TOXIII had conceded for 163 minutes of play.

Toulouse by 8.

Toulouse scoring for fun, a win by 14 in an entertaining encounter

Coverage just came on for a moment with the commentators discussing what they were gonna talk about and then it cut away quickly again! Quality sky coverage!

The rain has been forecast for France today - the worry was that it would be missing the wildfire areas.

Yeah I have only seen the headlines of the wildfires rather than see what weather was coming - I know another heatwave is forecast in the coming week.

Hopefully these rains are hitting the areas the wildfires are happening as it is chucking it down.

Catalans do look up for it, as you would expect after their last meeting. However, their ball retention is ropey at the best of times, and in this weather I can only see them putting a tonne of ball on the ground and really struggling to score.

This has all the makings of being the worst game of the season.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Well those players are certainly getting a cold shower!

I can only dream of it over here in East Yorks. Been months since there's been any proper rain at all.

[MZH]

Don't agree with the commentators there. I think that's a pretty clear penalty. Yeah there's no obvious ripping motion, but he knows exactly what he's doing.

I am enjoying the sound of the rain thank you very much

So, it seems everything has broken.

Just give it as no try and follow on field decision if it doesn't work.
