Preview: Barrow Raiders vs Toulouse Olympique

Barrow Raiders will welcome Toulouse Olympique to the Northern Competitions Stadium on Saturday in Round 23 of the Betfred Championship.

It’s an important fixture for Paul Crarey’s side who sit in 11th place in the table, one point above Whitehaven who currently occupy the relegation play-off spot.

The Raiders put on a brave performance in the south of France during the last meeting between the two clubs in May, which ended in a 38-16 defeat, and they will be hoping to replicate their efforts when the Frenchmen visit Cumbria tomorrow afternoon.

Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
