Wigan Warriors v Toulouse Olympique News

The Wigan Warriors welcome Toulouse Olympique from the south-west of France to the north-west of England for a match up that will likely have a big say on things at both ends of the field.

The Wigan Warriors came into the summer era of the sport as the dominant force in Rugby League and whilst others have caught them up and taken a place at the top of the table for themselves, the Warriors have maintained their place as a top club and one to beat for everyone else.

The Wigan Warriors have built a reputation of been dominant at home and that is the challenge that the TO players must overcome in this one, and whilst many will back Wigan for the win, the away side does have one big advantage.

They will head across the channel with little to no expectation on them to come away with the win and that should free them up to relax and play their own brand of expansive Rugby League.

That adds lots of interest in the build up to the game for both sets of fans as it will be likely that Wigan will need to be missing some stars and Toulouse at full strength if Olympique are to come away with success.

It is at the far western end of the M62 corridor, which is thought of as the corridor of the traditional northern heartlands of the sport.

The stadium itself is on the outskirts of the town, to the west of the city centre and close to the M6 motorway.
