At the MKM Stadium, Hull FC suffered a 12‑4 loss to Toulouse, consigning the Black and Whites to the bottom of the Betfred Super League table. Interim coach Andy Last, who had guided Hull to a win over Castleford in his first game, failed to halt the French side’s momentum in the season's early stage.

Toulouse surged early, scoring two tries within the first ten minutes. Olly Ashall‑Bott broke the deadlock just five minutes in, followed by Joe Cator four minutes later. Hull’s lone try came from Tom Briscoe in the closing minutes of the first half, but a missed conversion by Zak Hardaker left the score at 4‑0 before the halftime whistle.

Despite mounting pressure in the second half, Hull could not breach Toulouse’s defense. The French side’s disciplined structure forced the visitors to defend for extended periods, limiting Hull’s attacking swings. A decisive clearance by Ashall‑Bott with fifteen minutes left secured the hosts’ final lead and left them trailing as the match slipped away for good.

The result snaps Hull’s hopes of breaking into the league’s upper half and highlights Toulouse’s resilience after seven straight defeats. Andy Last’s squad will need to regroup before the next fixture, while Toulouse’s victory keeps their survival push alive. Hull’s season now hinges on immediate improvement for the remainder of the campaign today.
