Warrington bounced back from Betfred Challenge Cup semi-final heartbreak with a 24-16 win at Toulouse to move up to joint-second in the Super League.
Sam Burgess’ Wolves had lost out in emphatic fashion to Hull KR last Sunday to miss out on a trip to Wembley, but produced a superb first-half display to win in France.
Toby King, Josh Smith and Max Wood gave Wolves an 18-0 lead at the break and although Olly Ashall-Bolt responded twice for Toulouse, King had already added a second to ensure the visitors returned to Warrington with a bonus-point triumph.

Wolves had to work hard to regain a foothold in the contest, but made their territory count when Smith finished off in the 27th minute before Wood rounded off a fine first 40 with another score.
King completed his brace after 52 minutes with a superb dummy to put the away side 24-0 up, but Toulouse finished strong.
Mathieu Jussaume immediately got Toulouse off the mark before Ashall-Bolt further reduced the deficit with 21 minutes left.
When Marc Sneyd, who kicked eight points, was sent to the sin-bin soon after for Wolves, they faced a period of pressure.
But whilst Ashall-Bolt went over again for Toulouse, it finished 24-16 to send Warrington up to second level on points with Leeds, who have played a fixture more.
