Toulouse 40-24 Widnes

Toulouse (20) 40

Tries: Murphy, Estebanez, Gay 2, Faure, Gallagher

Goals: Couturier 8

Widnes (12) 24

Tries: Emelio, Johnson, Smith, Manu

Goals: Myler 4

Toulouse recorded one of the biggest upsets in Challenge Cup history to become the first ever French side to reach the semi-finals.

Firm underdogs against Super League side Widnes, they were 20-0 up after 25 minutes with tries from Sam Murphy, Fabrice Estebanez and Cedric Guy.

The Vikings made it 20-12 at half-time but were always chasing the game.

The home side scored three more tries after the break, with Tom Gallagher's score on 72 minutes sealing the win.

Damian Couturier was key to Toulouse's success, kicking 16 points.

Justin Morgan was full of praise for his part-time players after the defeat of Widnes.

"There were a few guys out there who shouldn't have been out there because they were busted and carrying injuries," said the Toulouse coach.

It's a fantastic afternoon for Toulouse, but for rugby league in France this is enormous

Justin Morgan

"But they showed a great spirit and I'm just proud of their effort.

"We are part-timers with full-time jobs so this is a great reward for them. They are the guys that deserve it."

Morgan added that his side's win would give the French game a massive lift.

"It's a fantastic afternoon for Toulouse, but for rugby league in France this is enormous," he said.

Ex-Widnes loan player Gallagher was understandably delighted with the win.

"I'm ecstatic. We are a part-time team and we just dug in today and stuck to our game-plan 100%," he said.

BRAVO TOULOUSE !!!!!! :huh:

qq un est il allé au match? c etait bien ?

oui moza j'y étais énorme début de match et les anglais du nord (limite pays de galles) ont succombé à la chaleur même si cela s'est joué en début de seconde où ils auraient pu revenir à 2 pts sur une action magnifique mais qui s'est achevée par un en-avant à 2 mètres de la terre promise.

entre 700 et 1000 rosbeefs complétement écrasés de chaleur (faut dire qu'ave la bière et les bouteilles de pinard), on les a pas bcq entendus.

en tout cas, bravo aux toulousains et aux anglais parce que jouer un match de ce niveau sous 39° sur le terrain, chapeau bas !

P.S : on a même eu droit à la traversée d'un rosbeef dénudé ! et oui mesdemoiselles, fallait être là :lol::lol::P

sinon, vaudra mieux éviter st helens en demi ! Wigan avait battu l'UTC !

St Helens 75-0 Wigan

St Helens (35) 75

Tries: Gilmour, V. Anderson, Fozzard 2, Hooper, Talau, Wellens, Edmondson 3, Lyon, Gardner, Graham

Goals: Sculthorpe 9, Lyon 2

Drop goals: Sculthorpe

Wigan (0) 0

St Helens ruined Ian Millward's return to Knowsley Road as they breezed into the Challenge Cup semi-finals with a ruthless demolition of old foes Wigan.

Millward was making his first return to his former club after his sacking for gross misconduct and was given a warm reception by the Saints fans.

But any hopes he had of an upset with soon dashed as the home side ran riot.

Mark Edmondson scored three of his side's 13 tries, with Paul Sculthorpe kicking 19 points for the Cup holders.

Lee Gilmour opened the scoring in the 11th minute as Saints took charge from the off, opening up a 35-0 lead by half-time.

Wigan were simply outclassed as they slumped to another heavy defeat after last week's 70-0 mauling by Leeds.

The win came at a SPAM for the hosts, who lost stand-off Jason Hooper with what looked like a dislocated shoulder in the first half.

Saints also went into the game without scrum-half Sean Long after he broke a wrist in training on Friday.

Man-of-the-match Nick Fozzard was full of praise for his St Helens team-mates after the mauling of Wigan.

"We've played some great games but this has got to rate as one of the best because it's against one of our fiercest rivals," said the prop.

Saints coach Danny Anderson added: "It was entertaining for the crowd and all the boys did really well.

We could not build any pressure with the ball and our error count was pretty horrendous

Ian Millward

"I'm very happy with the performance. It was a great team effort."

Ian Millward was hugely deflated after seeing his side slip to the worst ever defeat.

"The return was fantastic as far as the way the Saints supporters treated me. What was horrendous was what we did on the field," said the Wigan coach.

"We could not build any pressure with the ball and our error count was pretty horrendous."

Excusez mon ignorance, mais je n'y connais quasiment rien en XIII. Par conséquent, j'aurais une question. Comment ce fait-il que Toulouse joue la Coupe d'Angleterre?

D'autre part, j'avais entendu dire il y a qques temps qu'un club français devait jouer le championnat britannique. Qu'en est-il?

Merci de vos réponses.

Et surtout, bravo aux Toulousains!

Depuis quelques années les anglais invitent des clubs gallois, ecossais, russes et français à jouer la compétition.

Il faut savoir que cette cup est une véritable institution en Angleterre et sa valeur est peut etre plus importante que le fait de gagner la super league.

Ca serait enorme qu'un club français gagne le coupe d'Angleterre !!

L'année prochaine au mois de fevrier les catalans dragons basés à Perpi vont jouer la Super League ou si tu veux le championnat anglais.

J'espere que je t'ai eclairé

en fait si je ne me trompe pas, ce sont les anglais qui nous invite dans leur coupe.
