Wakefield overcame an 8-0 deficit to claim a 22-18 victory over Toulouse in France, keeping pressure on Hull KR and Warrington in the Super League. The Trinids scored four unanswered tries through Oliver Pratt, Caius Faatili, Jazz Tevaga, and Seth Nikotemo to build their lead.

Josh Rourke's sin-bin allowed Toulouse back into the game with tries from Olly Ashall-Bott and Paul Ulberg in the final stages. Oliver Pratt produced a diving finish and a crucial try-saving tackle on Benjamin Laguerre to secure the win. The victory marks Wakefield's eighth Super League win of the campaign.

Toulouse started strongly with James Roumanos scoring after a disputed try was disallowed for offside. Despite wasteful finishing and multiple disallowed attempts, they remained winless. The bottom-placed side now face an uphill battle as Wakefield moved into fifth place with this 22-18 result.
