ONE TO WATCH
Olly Ashall-Bott was briefly a London Broncos player in 2020 but after just one appearance the COVID pandemic brought an end to his time at the club.
The 27-year-old can play either wing or full-back and has had arguably his best season as a Toulouse player in 2025.
He was a thorn in the side of the Broncos in the return fixture in June and will need to be watched closely on Sunday.
PREVIOUS MEETINGS
The return fixture in June was an incredibly tight affair with only a late try from Toulouse sealing the points.
Huw Worthington, Ethan Natoli and Connor Barley scored the tries at the Stade Ernest Wallon.

LONDON BRONCOS V TOULOUSE OLYMPIQUE (by David Ballheimer) London Broncos (14) 18, Toulouse Olympique (6) 24 London Broncos suffered their most heart-breaking defeat of the season after outplaying Toulouse Olympique Treiziste for most of the first 65 minutes but succumbing to three tries in six final-quarter minutes. Mike Eccles’ 100th match in charge of the Broncos was made tougher by an injury crisis which saw three players gut it out despite having knocks that should have left them on the sideline. It meant a first-ever rugby league match for newly signed winger Charlie Robson. The Broncos took the lead in the seventh minute. Eschewing a kick on the last play, the ball was fed out to the left, with Alex Walker chiming into the line to create a numerical mismatch, and when Liam Tindall received the pass, he was quick enough to dive in the corner.
POST-MATCH: Mike Eccles post Toulouse defeat Get the thoughts of London Broncos head coach Mike Eccles following the narrow 18-24 defeat to Toulouse Olympique at The Cherry Red Records Stadium. Liam Tindall scored his 10th and 11th tries of the season and Jack Smith converted one and kicked 4 from 5 penalties. Watch the full interview with Mike below. #WeAreLondon

FIRST INTERVIEW: CHARLIE ROBSON It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks for London Broncos new signing Charlie Robson. The 23-year-old winger joined the club on trial just a few weeks ago but after impressing the coaching staff he signed a contract and was named in the matchday squad for the recent win over Barrow Raiders. Robson's story is a unique one in that he has never played a professional game of Rugby League before although has spent time on trial with both Hull FC & Leigh Leopards. Born in Surrey, Robson progressed through the Rugby Union system at Harlequins before playing professionally at Coventry.
