Toulouse secured a crucial 36-16 victory over Huddersfield in the battle of Betfred Super League's bottom two teams. The French side claimed their fourth win of the season at Flair Stadium, Dewsbury, outscoring their hosts six tries to three. This triumph lifted Toulouse above York to 12th place in the table.

Henry O'Kane opened the scoring for Toulouse before Joe Greenwood replied quickly for Huddersfield. Toulouse then dominated with tries from Paul Ulberg, Mathieu Jussaume, and Ethan Quai-Ward to lead 24-4 at halftime. George Flanagan cut the deficit before the break, but Jake Shorrocks' six conversions proved decisive for the visitors.

The victory was particularly significant as it marked Toulouse's first-ever win over Huddersfield in Super League. For the Giants, this defeat leaves them rock-bottom with just two victories in 13 matches this season. O'Kane sealed the win with his second try late in the game as Toulouse consolidated their position above the relegation zone.
