So here we go. A game that's been twelve months in the making with this game the likely outcome of a seasons worth of work.

As mentioned on other threads, feels very different to twelve months a go with only 4 props available then. It's not going to be 40 degrees either. We're full strength and EOC has some selection headaches this week.

While Hallas at Hooker worked on a boggy small field against Fev, I don't think it will work on a dry large pitch in Toulouse so I'd bring Ott back in.

Think this is too close to call. Toulouse haven't beaten us yet this year and they've lost a fair few times at home. That home invincibility tag seems to have gone.

But we still have to be at our absolute best to get anything. They're still a quality side and the only team to beat Wakefield this year.

We are definitely in a stronger position this time around, last year we looked like a side who just ran out of steam. We will start slight underdogs but we know we have enough quality to get a result.

Absolute embarrassment that this game will once again be a television and streaming black out apart from the Odsal stream. RFL should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves to allow that to happen for an English competition semi final.
