Andy Last has named his Hull FC side for today’s Super League clash against Toulouse Olympique, who are looking to break a seven-game losing streak.
Last took charge of Hull FC on an interim basis for the second time in April after John Cartwright stepped down, and life under Last started off brilliantly as the Black and Whites put 50 on Castleford Tigers in a dominant win.
They’re now fancied to record another win with opponents Toulouse winless since round two of Super League and having slipped to a heavy loss to fellow promoted side York Knights only last week.
A win for Hull FC would take them to seventh on the Super League ladder and crucially, just two points outside of the top six. As for Toulouse, a defeat of 12 points or more would send them to the foot of the table just ten games into the season.
Both Andy Last and Sylvain Houles have now locked in their teams for this afternoon’s clash at the MKM Stadium.
