This set contains full team cards for all 14 teams in the second level of rugby league in England and France, with home and away team ratings and individual try scoring and, for the first time for this league, goal kicker ranges. The set also contains defensive and kicking range adjustments if you want to match English Second League clubs against English League clubs in the Challenge Cup, for example.
A historic season which unlike 2020 was played to its conclusion, albeit still with the backdrop of the pandemic which saw part-time clubs (all bar London) allowed to skip travelling to Toulouse to avoid the period of isolation required following their return from France by the UK government. London then refused to travel because of the league's rule, so Toulouse were unable to host a single match during the regular season, playing 13 matches (including two switched, so they played all teams to remain eligible for the playoffs).
Even so the French club topped the table, winning all 13 of those matches (as well as the forfeited game by London), with the crucial game being a 23-6 win at their close rivals Featherstone, for which that loss was their only one in 21 starts.
For the playoffs, Toulouse were finally permitted to host matches, and in the semi-final after a slow start, disposed comfortably Batley 51-12, but they would again face Featherstone in the Grand Final, as they dispatched Halifax 42-10.
The Grand Final started out with Toulouse racing into a 16-0 first half lead, and that lead proved more than enough for a historic promotion to the top league for the French club, as they lifted the title with a 34-12 victory.
