London Broncos return to Twickenham Stoop to take on St Helens!

James Booth • 10 April 2024

For the first time since 17th August 2013, the London Broncos are making a return to Twickenham Stoop to take on St Helens Saints on Sunday, 16th June (3pm KO)!


Speaking on the return to the Stoop, the Broncos Head of Commercial, Mark Kemp, says “The club are delighted to announce the venue for the Super League Home fixture against St. Helens on June 16th, 2024.

 

“After looking at a number of options for this fixture, it soon became apparent the answer was almost staring us in the face. As we returned to the Super League for the 2024 season, we looked to make a conscious nod to the past with the return of the simple black kit from the 93/94 season and the striking quarter kit from the 1996 first summer season.

 

“We are excited and looking forward to welcoming you all to the Twickenham Stoop on what will be a great occasion as we return to a venue that hosted one of the clubs most successful periods and we look to re-engage with some of those lost supporters from within the area now that we are back in Super League.

 

“St. Helens, as always, will travel in force and the temptation to visit one of London’s premier rugby grounds will definitely swell their numbers making it ever more important to get Broncos fans current, old, and new along to the game to make as much London noise as possible and help the team to overcome one of the Super Leagues big hitters in what will be a great occasion for the club and all rugby league supporters.

 

“There will be all the normal facilities that we enjoy at AFC Wimbledon plus the added advantage of extra hospitality boxes and lounges on offer, all of which we will be release details of in the coming weeks building up to the game.

 

“Let’s make this a big day to remember, it would make the perfect Father’s Day outing with family entertainment, great rugby and plenty of good food and beer for all to enjoy- we look forward to welcoming you all and seeing you there!”

 


On the last occasion that we played against St Helens at Twickenham Stoop (April 27th, 2013) we came away 21-14 winners, thanks to trys from Chris Bailey (29), Tommy Lee (50) & Michael Robertson (43) as well as 4 conversions & a drop goal Michael Witt!

 

Let’s all get down to the Stoop and make sure to create as much atmosphere as possible to help the Broncos repeat this fantastic result!

POST-MATCH REACTION: Mike Eccles following narrow Toulouse defeat London Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles felt that despite defeat in France to the league leaders Toulouse Olympic, it was a performance with "plenty of positives and lots to build on." The Broncos would twice take the lead in the first-half only to be pegged back on both occasions to go into the break 12-12 but a last minute try from Benjamin Laguerre would seal the points for Sylvain Houles side. Watch the full post-match interview with Mike Eccles below. #WeAreLondon

MATCH PREVIEW: Toulouse Olympique vs London Broncos London Broncos head into one of the stand out fixtures of the season on Sunday when they make the trip to the south of France to take on Toulouse Olympique. Not only is it a visit to the side topping the Championship table but it is also the destination of one of the best days in the club's recent history. Securing promotion against Toulouse in 2023 was the last meeting between the two sides but despite the Broncos coming out on top that day it is the French who will be favourites on Sunday. Broncos come into this game on the back of a losing run but shoots of improvements were clear to see in the narrow defeat to Widnes last time out and will be boosted by the squad named. Squad Information Mike Eccles has named the 21-man travelling party for this weekend’s trip to Toulouse as Brandon Webster-Mansfield is named for the first time since arriving. Alongside Webster-Mansfield we also Liam Tindall and Connor O’Beirne return, coming as a huge boost for the squad. Sam Winney also returns to the 21 for the first time since breaking his jaw in the away game at Barrow. Jack Smith who is on dual registration from Leeds Rhinos also joins the group after scoring two tries on his debut for the club against Widnes Vikings. Lewis Bienek remains the only major absentee however it is hoped he will be fit for the next game at Hunslet.

Who has played for both? Toulouse Olympique & London Broncos It’s pretty common when we do these articles that there are a number of current players playing for the opposition, but perhaps Sheffield Eagles and Toulouse Olympique win the record for the highest number this season. So, before you all guess these five, Toulouse have 5 players in the current squad who have featured for London Broncos; Paul Ulberg, Ollie Ashall-Bott, Greg Richards, Callum Gahan and Rob Butler. Let’s focus on some of the players that no longer don the colours of either side and their history with us both; Rhys Curran An Aussie born French international, Curran spent two seasons at London Broncos before hanging up his boots. Still residing in London you can regularly expect to see Rhys coming down to The Cherry Red Records to support his former teammates. However, he can count a number of the Toulouse players as former teammates as he spent a very fruitful four seasons playing for the club between 2016 and 2019 and prior to that he played in Elite VIII for Villeneuve. Through residency (living for three years in France) Curran would play three times for the French national team in 2018.
