There was a lot riding in this series. The chance to play in the European Super League. Two clubs were hot favourites to contest the deciding game but all six sides were going to give it a crack.
First round: Fourth and fifth placed sides were up first with Batley defeating Bradford 23-10. The third versus sixth match was close, the higher finishing side in the league squeaking home 24-20.
Semi finals: In came the big hitters, Toulouse and Featherstone to take on last week's winners. The former defeated Batley 51-12 and the latter too good for Halifax 42-10. Would there be a second SL team in France or another from Yorkshire?
Final: This was held in France in front of a large crowd for RL in that country. The locals were favoured but nothing was certain. As it transpired, the best team in the competition won 34-12 with a strong first half performance taking the game away from Featherstone.
