Hull FC vs Toulouse Olympique: 21-man squads, injury news, kick-off time and TV details

Two teams with nothing left to play for this year meet with their eyes firmly fixed on 2023.

Hull FC have seen their play-off hopes dissipate over the course of the season but reminded everyone of what they can do when they pushed the in form Salford all the way last week and will be looking for another improved performance here so they can generate momentum for 2023.

Speaking of doing just that, Toulouse will be hoping to do the same so they can bounce straight back to Super League after losing their Super League status on Thursday against their French rivals Catalans. They’ll be optimistic about winning promotion next year but a strong finish to the season will certainly help them.
