Match Preview | Taking on Toulouse in season opener

14/03/2024

The 2024 Betfred Championship campaign finally gets underway on Friday evening for Sheffield Eagles as we entertain Toulouse Olympique at Olympic Legacy Park (7:30pm).

Mark Aston’s side head into this weekend’s fixture on the back of seven successive victories in both the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup and the Betfred Challenge Cup and will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run this weekend and start the new league campaign with a first two points of the season.

Standing in the South Yorkshire side’s way is a Toulouse Olympique side who narrowly missed out on an immediate return to Super League last season after losing the Million Pound game at home to London Broncos.

Having lost influential half-back Josh Ralph during the winter, the French side will be hoping to start the league season with a win and could hand debuts to off-season signings Paul Ulberg, James Roumanos and Ryan Rivett on Friday night over in the UK.
