Leeds Rhinos duo named in Bradford Bulls squad for big Championship clash

Leeds Rhinos duo Liam Tindall and James McDonnell have both been named in the Bradford Bulls squad to take on Toulouse Olympique this weekend. The Bulls, Leeds' dual-registration partner, host the recently relegated French club at Odsal this Saturday.

Neither have been named in the Rhinos squad to face Hull FC and missed out on selection when they took on Warrington Wolves last week. In McDonnell's case, the back-rower had suffered from illness in the closing weeks of pre-season.

The Bulls, coached by Mark Dunning, have won two of their opening three Super League games and their squad boasts two former Rhinos in Jordan Baldwinson and Jordan Lilley. Neither Jack Walker (hamstring) nor Bodene Thompson (concussion) are available.

They face a Toulouse team that is unbeaten so far and been in dominant form, scoring 118 points and conceding just four. Sylvain Houles' side are set to compete with the likes of Featherstone Rovers for promotion to Super League at the end of the year.
