<br>Toulouse (6) 16<br>
<br>Tries: Ashall-Bott, penalty shot, Laguerre Goals: 2<br>
<br>Wigan (18) 36<br>
<br>Tries: Eckersley 2, Keighran 2, French, O'Neill, Walters Goals: Keighran 4<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>Super League newcomers Toulouse never ever provided up and their scores originated from Olly Ashall-Bott, a penalty try and Benjamin Laguerre.<br>
<br>Wigan started like a group who had actually steamrollered their method to the top of Super League and opened the [scoring](https://adsintro.com/index.php?page=user&action=pub_profile&id=703778) after simply eight minutes when Eckersley discussed in the corner to crown a great death relocation.<br>
<br>[Keighran](https://beta.hoofpick.tv/@magdalenadutto?page=about) powered over the line 3 minutes later on and added the kick to make it 10-0.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>Ashall-Bott would not be rejected, though, and crossed the line after collecting Laguerre's kick on the stroke of half-time.<br>
<br>Toulouse tried to [continue](http://elifdavetiye.com.tr/index.php?route=journal3/blog/post&journal_blog_post_id=4) their return, however Wigan were simply too [excellent](https://git.aiximiao.com/eleanorknowlto) and French showed terrific strength to power over the line on 53 minutes to make it 22-6.<br>
<br>Toulouse refused to rest and they were granted a [charge attempt](https://gitlab.miljotekniska.se/judsonmate0739/the-bet-9ja-promotion-code-this-2026-is-yohaig/-/issues/1) 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.<br>
<br>Back came Wigan 2 minutes later and 20-year-old Jack Farrimond [revealed](https://daterondetjolie.fr/@lilapreece046) 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.<br>
<br>Still Toulouse kept going and Laguerre reviewed in the left-hand corner on 66 minutes, despite French's deal with.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>'I like the [mentality](https://cac5.altervista.org/index.php?title=The_BET9ja_Promo_Code_For_2026_Is_YOHAIG) of the group' - response<br>
<br>Wigan Warriors head coach [Matt Peet](http://www.bidanfiller.com/en/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=156714) said:<br>
<br>"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.<br>
<br>"There will certainly be things we take a look at, and technical things we could have done much better, but playing here [brings obstacles](https://australiaimmihome.com/read-blog/1012_the-bet9ja-promotional-code-for-2026-is-yohaig.html) in various ways.<br>
<br>"It's really early days. There will be obstacles to get rid of in the future, however I like the mindset of the group."<br>
<br>Toulouse: Ashall-Bott; Laguerre, Tropis, Rennie, Polselli; Lacans, Shorrocks; Belmas, Hands, Butler, Jussaume, Wallace, Marion.<br>
<br>Interchanges: Cator, Bretherton, Roumanos, Garrigues.<br>
<br>Wigan: French; Eckersley, Keighran, Farrell, Marshall; Farrimond, Smith; Havard, O'Neill, Thompson, Nsemba, Walters, Ellis.<br>
<br>Interchanges: Mago, Partington, Eseh, Kerr.<br>
<br>St Helens recuperate to beat perky Bradford<br>
