Worrall, Faure, Villegas and Duport missing. It will be tough.
But then the Dewsbury team has a 20 hours something trip to Toulouse on bus (!) so the outcome is pretty hard to predict.

why is the game moved to tomorrow?

Air traffic control dispute mean dewsbury cant fly in and have to bus it.

I know batley took 200 last year so I hope the dewsbury fans aern't inconvienced.

in reality ( Fans over there accepted) this game should be rescheduled.

Toulouse snatch it at the death. 26-22 win

Good stuff, cant see Dewsbury being a push over, they pushed Barrow all the way last year when they were in champ 1 and they have recruited pretty well.

Local press report (translated automatically):

La Depeche du Midi - Toulouse lucky with a win from a tricky situation
Victorious against Dewsbury yesterday at the opening of the Championship, Toulouse may feel pleased with the outcome of the meeting. For after having started the match well, Bromley found the flaw from the 2nd minute, Toulouse gradually went on a lower gear. Two huge opportunities not materialized, some blatant defense errors, so many gifts allowed Dewsbury to take advantage and settle into the match. Much better positioned collectively, the English logically lead (14-22 at the 52nd). It was not until the last minute and a burst of pride that Toulouse appeared (finally) more efficient, Bromley and Planas freeing their teammates in a final breath.

On injury news: Mitchell is injured with his elbow (dislocation) and is likely to be out 45 days. Tough news as he is one of the main playmakers of the team.

Tim Wynn played prop? I hope he informed the rlunionrl

Very much enjoying the unions work.
