WHITEHAVEN 34 TOULOUSE 20
Whitehaven put their recent Challenge Cup struggles behind them to claim a six try win over Toulouse on Saturday night.
An early try from Rory Bromley, converted by Nathan Wynn gave the visitors an early advantage before Dylan Skee replied for Haven and Carl Rudd hit the first of five goals.
Quickfire tries from Antoni Maria and Bruno Ormerno tipped the half back in Toulouse's favour before Rudd himself touched down. A fourth try from Sebastien Planas, converted by Wynn gave the visitors a 20-10 half-time lead, it proved to be the last point the French team scored.
Whitehaven made a great start to the new half with the elusive Carl Sice grabbing two tries in three minutes before Vincent Duport was shown a red card after 52 minutes.
It was 22-20 to Haven until the last eight minutes when the hosts pulled away with two tries. The first was scored by substitute Reece Fox before debutant loan signing Ian Mort went over for his first points for the Recre boys and Rudd landed the conversions to deny the French side a bonus point.
