The Panthers are right back in this contest. You can’t keep your eyes off it.

Fax 10-12 Toulouse

Jouffret makes the conversion.

Fax 10-12 Toulouse

Fax keep up this great spell of pressure and Woodburn-Hall, who came agonisngly close seconds early, goes over on the far left hand side.

Fax 8-12 Toulouse

Around 13 minutes of the first half. It has absolutely flown by.

Fax 4-12 Toulouse

Crooks and Walmsley break with speed down the left. Walmsley decides to kick low and aim for the onrushing Woodburn-Hall. He has to kick as well in full flow but he can’t manage to touch down as a French hand knocks the ball behind. Superb play all round.

Fax 4-12 Toulouse

Fax players and fans were not happy with that Toulouse try as they thought that Lima was held up. The fans certainly let the referee, Marcus Griffiths, know how they felt!

Fax 4-12 Toulouse

Shorrocks makes it two from two.

Fax 4-12 Toulouse

Toulouse have their second try of the evening; Pierre-Jean Lima going over from close range. Conversion to follow.

Fax 4-10 Toulouse

It’s end to end is this one. Zachary Santo scampers clear. He thinks he is away but he didn’t bank on Lachlan Walmsley tracking back and bringing him down.

Fax 4-6 Toulouse

Fax scored five tries last week in the win at Whitehaven and Louis Jouffret converted all of them. He is off target from the first chance tonight but it was a difficult kick, on the right touchline.

Fax 4-6 Toulouse

He came close moments earlier. He now has his try. It’s like a carbon copy. Again the ball is worked to the right and Saltonstall, this time, stretches an arm to touch down.

Jouffret is just off target is with the conversion.

Fax 4-6 Toulouse

Instant response! James SALTONSTALL!!

Better. Much better from the Panthers. They move it fast and wide to the right. James Saltonstall thinks he’s over but Toulouse throw not one, not two but three men at him to prevent him from touching down.

Well that is certainly not the start Simon Grix and Fax will have wanted. As one Fax fan shouted near the press box as Brochon danced through the Fax defence: “That was too bloomin’ easy!”

Jake Shorrocks may not get a simpler conversion all evening.

Fax 0-6 Toulouse

Toulouse try as Robin Brochon skips through about three Fax shirts to easily touch down under the posts. Barely two minutes gone.

Fax 0-4 Toulouse

Fax still have the ball in the first set but Toulouse ensure the home side are kicking from within their own ten metre line on the last tackle

And it’s those white shirts of Toulouse who get the game under way here at The Shay!
