WAKEFIELD TRINITY welcome internationals Mike McMeeken and Jazz Tevaga into their squad for the visit of Toulouse Olympique, with the latter set to make his club debut.
Lachlan Walmsley replaces Jayden Myers in the 21-man selection with fellow backs Tom Johnstone and Oliver Pratt still absent.
Toulouse are preparing for their first game of the season having not entered the Challenge Cup, so there are possible debuts for Henry O’Kane, Tyler Dupree, Luke Polselli and César Rougé.
But Jake Shorrocks, Paul Marcon and Maxime Stefani aren’t in Sylvain Houles’ squad.
