It was a touch watch at times but Dragons overcame Toulouse after a strong second half performance in Carcassonne over the weekend.
Toulouse Olympique (6) 10
T : Pierre-Jean Lima, Etienne Depeyre
G : Mark Kheirallah
Catalans Dragons (4) 22
T : Sam Tomkins, Micky McIlorum, Rémi Casty, Arthur Romano
G : James Maloney 3
The game was slow to come to life but eventually Dragons worked their way over in the corner through Samkins.
However it was the team in blue who played the better rugby in the first half and they went in ahead at half time.
The second half was more about Catalans who completed sets further up the park and looked stronger as the game went on.

Time will tell if these sides are the real deal and its clear Catalans need something and someone to help the defence as TOxiii made too many metres in the first half.
Overall though it was a decent performance.
