Zénon is still recovering from injury I believe,

This year is the 120th anniversary of the Lézignan rugby club being created, Ferrals (their reserves) celebrate 100 years,

Laguerre, Yaha and Rougé played with xiii catalan this weekend so I can't see them being in the team for the first round of super league

Imagine saying the challenge cup semi finals would be in Cornwall this year

They need to promote the game using the France team not the clubs

It's a one small stand stadium next to the velodrome, the France u17s v England game was there last year, If the 4 semi finalists are Albi, Villeneuve, Carcassonne and limoux, that's some bus rides! Villeneuve is id say 7 hours away by bus, Albi 6, Carcassonne and Limoux at least 5 hours one way, Quite a trip for 4 teams to play on the same day at a small ground, yes we needed to promote the game but it also needs strengthening in the places where league is still played, I reckon there'll be a crowd of 1000 maximum for the semi finals at Marseille, they wanted to play the elite 1 major semi finals at Avignon but Avignon have decided they can't do it, again it would be a very small crowd, if Albi play at home they'd fill their stadium and Carcassonne would get at least 3000 (the most probable top 2)

This game has been brought forward as xiii Catalan have lots of players in the elite squad, normally the pia v Carcassonne game will be moved to march as Carcassonne have 4 players in the squad, Yaha and Laguerre in the centre today and Cesar Rougé at 6, I've heard he'll play for the elite select squad v the Catalans and not the Catalan team.

He's been playing centre too, played second row for France U17 and played lock also, he was this size at 15 though so that's probably why,

The Lézignan v Villeneuve game highlights and full game are on the fcl13 YouTube channel, a good game to watch,

Villeneuve played very well against Lézignan, a very solid team and physical, when you see they've six defensive bonis points it shows they're a tough team to beat.

Clément Martin

Clément Martin turned 19 yesterday and scored a great try fending off ford then Santo to beat him for pace, the tries weren't that simple and nice tries to watch, Thibaut Marty is 21 and is selected in the squad for the Catalan game as is Luc Brocas.

Avignon v Carcassonne on YouTube now, so Avignon xiii YouTube page

Villeghailanc xiii v Villefranche is being shown on the varl xiii YouTube channel tomorrow (Sunday)

Bonus défensif, 1 point if you lose with 12 or less, Albi game on na TV and sport en France. The federation has signed something with a few local TV companies to show games on internet local TV.

He was captain of France 19s v England academy last summer, excellent player but a little light(as a lot of yoing french players are) and plays well above his weight. Another young player who's keen on a season in England.

I think the villeghailanc v Albi will be on varl xiii YouTube channel, they use the same cameraman as Carcassonne now and he has everything needed to live stream,

A Bronco is 0 to 20 and back, , 0 to 40 and back , 0 to 60 and back, 5 times, no hitting the floor, 1200 metres in total.

Yes the hospitality is full, there's a waiting list, so having more will increase the income,

The capacity wont change that much(1000 or so) but they will have more reception areas for pre match and after match sponsors meals and executive areas,

I bet he doesn't!

Too much too young maybe, lots of coach changes, bad influences, not given enough game time, one bad game and you're back as third/fourth choice. Not moving to a UK club when he had the chance as he didn't want to. Cesar Rougé is going through the same thing now, as did morgue, the French players seem to come second to more experienced overseas halves, which is understandable in a title chasing team, Lucas is finding is confidence again at carcassonne,

He had a full round during the week, Double round on a Sunday, the evening papers and the Warrington free paper on a Thursday I reckon,

Was faz not 16 when he debuted? Lucas Albert?

Look out for Clement Martin at Lézignan, 2005 played a couple of first team games already. Wing for the moment but will transform into a big centre/second row
