That would be a great thing for french rl but not financially viable!

Sorry the poles are from 15/16 to 17/18 years old, so the first and second years are still u17s that's why the catalan lads leave after the second year to train with the catalans u19s the same year they pass their end of school exams,
-
The poles are the players of u19s also, each pole has around 20/25 players, they return to their clubs the Friday to train and play at the weekend for their club,
-
Catalan and Toulouse both have u19s but they play in the french u19s league against Carcassonne, Lézignan, pia etc

The campus is a separate set up ran by the catalans with private teachers coming in to teach,

Which one? My lads have both been at the pole and never had any contact with the catalans, the catalan lads even leave after the second year to stay with the xiii catalans u19s , my eldest was roommates with two of them, mathis fraysinous left last year too to be available for all the sessions at xiii catalans

Carcassonne pole espoirs, salon de Provence pole espoirs, and pole.france at Toulouse, pole espoirs is where the young players study at school in one of the towns/city and train in the afternoons/evenings during the week, with quality coaches, weights and ball work etc my youngest is at Carcassonne pole and my eldest has just left pole france at Toulouse, great set ups, it's a selection but the parents still need to pay for the digs and inscription, plus the clubs help out.

Catalans have nothing to do with the pole espoirs, they even ask their players to quit the pole in the 3rd year to concentrate on training with them, Toulouse help out pole France in Toulouse, training sessions with them and the Toulouse coach goes in sometimes to coach etc. Toulouse have a centre de formation. I've no idea if either club go into schools.

The clubs are still waiting for the minutes from the general meeting in Toulouse. What has been decided, any changes etc. we didn't know they where changing the name to super x111 until the fixtures came out!

Yes the federation published the fixtures on Friday as they close for a months holiday now.

He's a off the cuff player yes, but he can't control a game or lead a team around the park, if you need to win a game with 5 to go he's your man, there's a reason they started him on the bench v the academy and he only played 40 against Scotland, Avignon dropped him to the bench at the end of the season as other coaches had worked him out, yes you need to be able to play heads up rugby and take risks but the higher you go the more calculated the risks need to be and there's less chance of the risks coming off, but yes he's a very good player and will learn a lot playing next to gigot,

That’s not the best recruitment at all. Rostang’s a good player but a smart one he isn’t, as you say coupled with Gigot you’d expect to see a wildly erratic and inconsistent Albi. Maybe they’ll place the #14 on him instead with a controller at #7
He's a good no14, he played 9 as a young lad, and France 17s
-
Rostang 18th man, on the team sheet on the french federation.
-
The conditions are quite testing in serbia I've heard. Very hot and no air conditioning where the players are staying.
-
Rostang has just signed for Albi, that will be fun watching him and gigot in the halves, Rostang can't stick to a game plan and take risks with kicks and tony is tony and could well get annoyed with him.
He spent a month with Halifax this summer.

Maybe he didn't realise the true costs, as he said he was going to do more for the reserve team but has done less,

Any news on tv coverage etc? Sponsorship? I've seen that france b will have a couple of games this season again, plus the game against the dragons,
-
Villefranche wolves are in there not villeghailanc, but I've heard it's very complicated at Toulouse and rumours they may drop down to elite 2, quite a few Toulouse players have moved to Villefranche and st Gaudens, also heard the catalans team is going to be very young as they have pulled a lot of funding for the reserve team to cover the travel of visiting super league teams, alot of the older experienced players they brought in last year will leave,

With France b and England lions b?

Yes, the fact that they don't use the no maul rule annoys me, is there not a rule that if the attackers legs aren't on the floor it's held? Or did i lake that up, if he lifts his legs when being pushed he's held? Which is the correct rule for a touch kick? Cross the line in the air? As it was discussed on tv this weekend,

They are ub21 the Serbs

In France you have to push a player into touch, not drag, if you drag it's a penalty,
