Leigh Leopards and Toulouse Olympique have confirmed their line-ups for this afternoon’s Super League clash, which can be watched live on BBC2.
The Leopards have lost four of their last five matches, and have a number of players missing through injury including the likes of Umyla Hanley and Edwin Ipape.
Leigh boss Adrian Lam named both Aaron Pene and Joe Ofahengaue in the 21-man squad, but revealed that the latter only had a small chance of featuring this afternoon.
As such, Ofahengaue has not been risked by the coach, and will miss a fourth game as he looks to return to 100% fitness.
Lam also said that Owen Trout may have to play through an ankle injury this week, after injury in the defeat to Wakefield Trinity last week. The coach has again been cautious in his decision making and has left the Cronulla-bound man out of the 17.
The away side suffered defeat to St Helens last weekend, but their second half performance again showed how they can match most Super League teams, and they will be hoping to play like that again this week.
Toulouse boss Sylvain Houles makes two changes to the side the started last week’s game against the Saints, with Cesar Rouge and Maxime Stefani coming in at stand-off and back row respectively.
Thomas Lacans and Pierre-Jean Lima drop out, whilst AJ Wallace and Ellis Gillam will feature from the bench.
