Dewsbury Rams v Toulouse: Lee Greenwood preparing for tough French test

THERE HAS been a spring in Dewsbury Rams’ step this week, but another huge test faces them this afternoon.

Rams will go into the visit of high-flying Toulouse Olympique (3pm) with fresh confidence following a stunning 25-24 win at former Super League side Widnes Vikings six days ago.

The French outfit are second in the Betfred Championship after just three defeats this season and Rams coach Lee Greenwood knows his team are up against it, but he is keen to see if they can raise their game again after last week’s heroics.

“It is another tough challenge backing up from Widnes away,” admitted the Rams boss.

“It is not easy coming off the Easter period and playing two full-time teams, but that’s the way it is – and it is a better fixture for us than it might have been.

“We are going into it with more confidence than we would have done if we’d lost heavily last week.

“We went away to a full-time team who hadn’t lost there this year and beat them. You can’t do much better than that.”
