Interesting team news with regards Rovers.

Despite being available both Lewis and Pangai jr are dropped. Tyronne May is out. So Rovers are looking at a HB combination of Hampshire/Morgue/Litten/Charles.

From the sounds of it, Louix Gorman and Jack Charles will be playing tomorrow. Just a Question of who partners Charles, think it will be Litten with Leyland and Lawton doing the hooking duties.

Charles and Hampshire in the halves. Gorman on the bench, with Minchella on the bench Lawton starting in his place.

Leyland still can't get into the team.

Good that they are starting the youth players in Ryan Hampshire though, we just never know what these young guns can provide.

[Chrispmartha]

Could be an interesting game this one

Not sure we needed to see a sulking Lewis on the sidelines for 20 seconds while play is going on.

Is this game stuttering for everyone else?

 

Saints game was the same

No its been ok for me

Surprised Toulouse didn't get any penalty for that Davies second effort and failing to clear the PTB

Nope, no issues for me

Can’t see TO winning in Hull… OAB such an important player for them.

[MZH]

Rovers have been incredibly sloppy ball in hand. Problem is Toulouse aren't good enough to capitalise on it.

[Click]

Poor from Ulberg, he should know himself he isn't able to burn any player for pace on the outside.

[Bull Mania]

Feel Toulouse may be kicking themselves if they don't win this. KR looking fatigued unsurprisingly 

[Click]

And Toulouse finally get over with 30 minutes gone

Polselli is definitely putting a shift in at FB though.

If someone has left a door ajar - do you really need to kick it in?

[MZH]

That's a pretty soft try for Toulouse to concede. Could have driven a bus through that gap straight down the middle. Disappointing after it took them all that time to get on the board.

[MZH]

That's tough for the VR to overturn. It went TO's way on the field and I don't think you could say for sure that Burgess didn't get a touch on those angles. For once it's an inconclusive call that I reckon is the correct one. 

[Click]

I think if Toulouse had a decent 9 on the field they would have had a couple more tries.

Not convinced about him, especially his performance today

[minch]

Justice for TO after the ruck antics beforehand 

[minch]

Minchella with a 4th man in shoulder to the head 

[MZH]

6-6. Both teams have been fairly poor, but Rovers are looking tired and making a lot of uncharacteristic errors, and that's unlikely to get any better as the game goes on. If TO can hang with them for another 20 minutes or so in the second hand I reckon they've got a good chance of a result here.
