After a short break, Barrow Raiders are back in Betfred Championship action this Saturday as they face off against Toulouse Olympique in the south of France.
The Raiders’ last outing ended in a battling 24-24 draw away at Batley Bulldogs at the start of May, extending their unbeaten run in the league to four games after an excellent start to their 2025 campaign.
This weekend, they face a Toulouse side who sit at the summit of the table with seven wins from their first nine fixtures. Paul Crarey’s side will be hoping to record their first victory over the French outfit since 2011, which could see them catapulted up to first place, should other results go their way.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
