Why does today's Saints vs Toulouse clash matter?
St Helens head into the contest in sixth place and will be looking to close in on the top four with victory on Sunday afternoon, according to the club's pre-match briefing. Paul Rowley's side will be looking to bounce back after falling narrowly to defeat in a bruising encounter against rivals Wigan Warriors at the Hill Dickinson Stadium last time out.
This is the second meeting with Toulouse this season after the Saints claimed a 30-16 victory on the road back in March, and they will be keen to make it a double over the French outfit in 2026. Toulouse come into this one full of confidence off the back of a thumping 60-18 victory in the French derby against Catalans Dragons in Castres.
Who is missing for St Helens against Toulouse?
The injury list has turned a playoff push into a gruelling test. BBC Sport reports that hooker Daryl Clark has been ruled out for around eight weeks with an ankle ligament injury picked up in the Magic Weekend loss to Wigan. Prop David Klemmer suffered broken ribs in the same game and will also be sidelined for several weeks.
Fellow props Alex Walmsley and George Delaney both failed head injury assessments and will miss Sunday's home game against Toulouse. Racing Post notes the Saints have been forced to call upon academy players, leaving a weakened side to face a Toulouse outfit that has won three of its last four away Super League games.
Can Toulouse spring a shock at the Brewdog Stadium?
Despite St Helens' home advantage, previewers see a tight contest. Alex Jack writes for Racing Post that Toulouse look capable of pushing the Saints all the way, with Sylvain Houles' side clicking in attack after their Catalans rout. A first win over St Helens since 2022 might be ambitious, but with 28°C heat on Merseyside and Saints depleted, the tip is Toulouse +16 at even money.
St Helens will still back themselves at the Brewdog Stadium, where their Live Match Centre — sponsored by Acorn Motor Group — will publish team news, line-ups from 1:30pm, photo-led match updates and a post-match report shortly after the final whistle.
