Wolves, who have now won 12 of their past 13 home games and five games in a row, held out until six minutes before the interval when Pons leaped highest to grab a Thomas Lacans kick and touch down.<\/p>\n
However, the hosts made the most of a rare attack in the final minute when Webster rounded off a lovely team move to skillfully score in the right corner to leave the game at 8-8.<\/p>\n
Toulouse upped the urgency in the second half and another sustained spell of pressure resulted in Romeo Tropis crossing.<\/p>\n
But just when it appeared as though the French side’s greater experience and nous could see them start to dominate, Warrington dug deep and showed their physicality.<\/p>\n
Wood dived over from close range after taking a sharp pass from Lacans in his stride before Lindop pounced on another error at the back to gather the ball and cross.<\/p>\n
And Josh Smith rounded off a wonderful night for the home side when a Hayes kick through bounced favourably and he was able to collect the ball cleanly and touch down.<\/p>\n
Wolves will face Hull KR in the second eliminator on Saturday, 19 September, after Wakefield Trinity host Leigh Leopards on Friday, 18 September.<\/p>\n
