Wakefield withstood a late Toulouse rally as they battled back from 8-0 down to win and turn up the heat on Hull KR and Warrington in the Super League.
Daryl Powell’s side scored twice inside five first-half minutes to turn the game around after Toulouse made a flying start in the Stade Ernest Wallon when James Roumanos went over.
Wakefield scored four unanswered tries through Oliver Pratt, Caius Faatili, Jazz Tevaga and Seth Nikotemo, before Josh Rourke was controversially sin-binned to allow Toulouse back into this seesaw game.
Olly Ashall-Bott and Paul Ulberg took full advantage to score inside three minutes before Pratt made a try-saving tackle on Benjamin Laguerre as Wakefield hung on for victory.
