WIGAN WARRIORS could name an unchanged line-up as they look to extend their winning streak to eleven on Saturday.
The only change to Matt Peet’s squad ahead of the visit of Toulouse Olympique is the removal of Adam Keighran, who missed the derby victory at Leigh with a groin problem, for Kian McDermott.
There will be no such continuity for Toulouse, who continue to do things tough on the injury front.
In the spine there is no Jake Shorrocks selected, although they do have Thomas Lacans back in contention after a head injury.
Joe Bretherton, Baptiste Rodriguez, Henry O’Kane, Tiaki Chan also drop out of Sylvain Houles’ 21, replaced by Brendan Hands, James Roumanos, Maxime Stefani and Louis Grossemy.
The 5.30pm kick-off will be preceded by the Championship game between Salford and Swinton Lions, with a slightly altered time of 2.30pm.
