Toulouse to have mini pre-season before Championship starts again

Toulouse trainer Adam Innes says the club want to have a mini pre-season before the Championship season gets back up and running.

The rugby league season has been suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It is still unknown when the campaign will resume – but Innes says Toulouse would like to have a mini pre-season training camp before action gets back underway.

Innes said: “What is certain is that we will resume with a new off-season, with the only difference that during a classic off-season we know the start date, the end date and the time between those dates.

“In the current situation, this is not the case. First, we are awaiting the decisions of the government to know when we can resume training then we await the directives of the RFL concerning the new calendar and especially the date of resumption.

“We are going to have a new pre-season period but we have no idea when we can start and how long it will last.

“Afterwards, we are in the same situation as all the other teams so we will deal with it, work as we can and do the best we can.”
