WARRINGTON Wolves have almost certainly sealed their Super League place for 2023 with a 32-18 win against Toulouse.

Tries by Ollie Holmes and Connor Wrench, both converted by Stefan Ratchford put Wire 12-0 ahead.

But three tries in the last 10 minutes of the first half turned the game on its head.

A Ratchford penalty on the stroke of half-time left Wire trailing 18-14.

Wrench defied a leg injury to dive over in the corner to level matters and Ratchford landed a penalty to nudge Wire back in front at 20-18.

With 11 minutes remaining, Matt Dufty's pass put George Williams between the sticks and Ratchford added the extras.

Ben Currie touched down Williams' grubber kick with the last play of the game to settle matters.
