Toulouse have announced that they will be taking part in a training day alongside NRL Champions Sydney Roosters next month. The event will take place on February 13 at the Sport and Intelligence National Centre in Paris, four days ahead of their World Club Challenge meeting with the Wigan Warriors.
Toulouse Head Coach Sylvain Houles is a former team-mate of Roosters boss Trent Robinson, with the pair having spent time together playing at the Stade des Minimes. Robinson, who was voted Best NRL Coach of 2013, also spent time as Head Coach of the French side in 2005. On the chance to train with the French side, Robinson said: “I’m looking forward to the boys experiencing it.”

Sydney Roosters and Toulouse Olympique have announced a new initiative this pre-season, as the two clubs will training together at the INSEP (Sport and Intelligence National Centre) in Paris on the 13th February. Last season’s NRL champions will stop in Paris en route to facing Grand Final winners Wigan Warriors in the World Club Challenge four days later. The move came about through the relationship between Toulouse coach Sylvain Houles and Roosters counterpart Trent Robinson, as the two played together at the French club before Robinson turned to coach them in 2005, taking over from Justin Morgan who had joined Hull KR.
Robinson then went on to coach Catalans Dragons between 2011-2012, after spells as assistant at Newcastle Knights and Sydney Roosters under Brian Smith, before returning to the NRL with Roosters ahead of the 2013 season.
