  1. The Lézignan v Albi game is now available to see on YouTube
  2. Pamiers are looking to move up to elite 2, they've a bit of money and a decent following,
  3. Never going to happen, a semi pro player with a full time job will be getting minimum 1500 euros take home for his job and between 600 and 1200 from rugby (some maybe a little more) there's no way clubs can pay this as a real work contract costs the employer double, so a player on 2k will cost the club around 3700 with taxes, national insurance etc , Players aren't going to give up a long term job to play a couple of years of full time rugby for half the money he was getting,
  4. The right side was the strong side until they moved the young full back Monteil to stand off or left side halfback, and he unlocked the left side attack,
  5. Avignon are a very good team, It seems in France the refs referee the score and not the game, dominant teams in a game seem to get penalised more near the end of the game to let the other team back in, it happened for the Lézignan Villeneuve game, same yesterday, the Toulouse v Lézignan game it happened and for the Carcassonne game when Lézignan came back to almost win. I watched Ferrals struggle v Pamiers and was 18 0 down after 20 minutes, after this the penalty count was 5 to 0 for Ferrals who came back to lose 22 to 16 but missed a penalty at 18 16 that would have probably drawn the match, Or I may be wrong
  6. Complicated for the french, English ref, superleague rules and interpretations, two training sessions, spread the team out over all the clubs, they're allowed to wrestle in France the English ref spent more time shaking his fist in the air to signal six again than anything else
  7. Na TV is Aquitaine, but can be watched via the internet,
  8. It's being shown on NA TV and sport en France,
  9. triple header with Toulouse v featherstone? Bit of a surprise that the Toulouse players won't be playing for France, same for the couple of french players at featherstone.
  10. Yes and he didn't even want to play centre!
  11. I remember his nightmare game for hull kr
  12. Zénon is still recovering from injury I believe,
  13. This year is the 120th anniversary of the Lézignan rugby club being created, Ferrals (their reserves) celebrate 100 years,
  14. 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
  15. Imagine saying the challenge cup semi finals would be in Cornwall this year
  16. They need to promote the game using the France team not the clubs
  17. 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)
  18. 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.
  19. 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,
  20. The Lézignan v Villeneuve game highlights and full game are on the fcl13 YouTube channel, a good game to watch,
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Avignon v Carcassonne on YouTube now, so Avignon xiii YouTube page
