Wigan began like a team who had steamrollered their way to the top of Super League and opened the scoring after just eight minutes when Eckersley went over in the corner to crown a fine passing move.<\/p>\n
Keighran powered over the line three minutes later and added the kick to make it 10-0.<\/p>\n
Wigan were relentless and Keighran forced his way over again in the 16th minute to stretch the Warriors’ lead to 14-0 before Eckerlsey went over in the corner on 22 minutes to make it 18-0.<\/p>\n
Toulouse tried to respond and French, deputising at full-back for Jai Field, who is recovering from an appendix operation, made a try-saving tackle on Ashall-Bott.<\/p>\n
Ashall-Bott would not be denied, though, and crossed the line after collecting Laguerre’s kick on the stroke of half-time.<\/p>\n
Toulouse tried to continue their comeback, but Wigan were just too good and French showed great strength to power over the line on 53 minutes to make it 22-6. <\/p>\n
Toulouse refused to lie down and they were awarded a penalty try on 58 minutes when Liam Marshall tackled Ashall-Bott without the ball as he attempted to touch down. Shorrocks added the extra points to reduce Wigan’s lead to 24-12.<\/p>\n
Back came Wigan two minutes later and 20-year-old Jack Farrimond showed what a star he will be as he burst through before setting up Brad O’Neill to cross the line and increase their lead to 30-12.<\/p>\n
Still Toulouse kept going and Laguerre went over in the left-hand corner on 66 minutes, despite French’s tackle.<\/p>\n
Man of the match Farrimond had a hand in four tries and he weaved his way through Toulouse to set up Sam Walters for Wigan’s seventh try eight minutes from time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wigan began like a team who had steamrollered their way to the top of Super League and opened…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":463879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-463878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/463879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
