Wigan (18) 36

Tries: Eckersley 2, Keighran 2, French, O'Neill, Walters Goals: Keighran 4

Wigan Warriors ran in 4 tries in 14 minutes as they overpowered Toulouse Olympique to preserve their 100% winning start to the Super League season.

Wigan made it four wins from four against Toulouse to resume their two-point lead at the top after Warrington Wolves won on Friday to move level with them.

Zach Eckersley and Adam Keighran each scored 2 tries in Wigan's first-half attack at the Stade Ernest-Wallon before Bevan French, Brad O'Neill and Sam Walters completed their scoring.

Super League newcomers Toulouse never ever provided up and their scores originated from Olly Ashall-Bott, a penalty try and Benjamin Laguerre.

Wigan started like a group who had actually steamrollered their method to the top of Super League and opened the scoring after simply eight minutes when Eckersley discussed in the corner to crown a great death relocation.

Keighran powered over the line 3 minutes later on and added the kick to make it 10-0.

Wigan were ruthless and Keighran required his method over again in the 16th minute to extend the Warriors' lead to 14-0 before Eckerlsey discussed in the corner on 22 minutes to make it 18-0.

Toulouse tried to respond and French, deputising at full-back for Jai Field, who is recuperating from an appendix operation, made a try-saving deal with on Ashall-Bott.

Ashall-Bott would not be rejected, though, and crossed the line after collecting Laguerre's kick on the stroke of half-time.

Toulouse tried to continue their return, however Wigan were simply too excellent and French showed terrific strength to power over the line on 53 minutes to make it 22-6.

Toulouse refused to rest and they were granted a charge attempt on 58 minutes when Liam Marshall took on Ashall-Bott without the ball as he tried to touch down. Shorrocks added the extra points to lower Wigan's lead to 24-12.

Back came Wigan 2 minutes later and 20-year-old Jack Farrimond revealed what a star he will be as he rupture through before setting up Brad O'Neill to cross the line and increase their result in 30-12.

Still Toulouse kept going and Laguerre reviewed in the left-hand corner on 66 minutes, despite French's deal with.

Man of the match Farrimond had a hand in four tries and he weaved his way through Toulouse to set up Sam Walters for Wigan's seventh try eight minutes from time.

'I like the mentality of the group' - response

Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet said:

"It was a brave efficiency. Credit to Toulouse who challenged us and posed problems. I liked our start, we required to take it up which we did.

"There will certainly be things we take a look at, and technical things we could have done much better, but playing here brings obstacles in various ways.

"It's really early days. There will be obstacles to get rid of in the future, however I like the mindset of the group."
