Hull Kingston Rovers return to action this evening against Toulouse Olympique. A victory for the Robins would all but end relegation worries and potentially start a playoff push. Olympique sits bottom of the table despite being in some good form, however, lost last time out against Hull FC 30-6. When the two sides last met KR were dominated by the French side and it saw the end of the Tony Smith era in East Hull.
