They play Albi at the rugby league ground not the union ground, so no running track, carcassonne has a running track

You can buy their shirt if they ever set a team up,
There was a team around 25 years ago but it didn't last long.
-
I don't know who he is, the French played with first and second year U19s (there's three years in the U19s)
So maybe he was j3?
-
Jammes wore 1 but played in the halves, grifier played full back but wore the number 6 shirt.
Kouassi is flying out with Enzo griffier, he's from Villeneuve, griffier is from salon de Provence
-
The French federation, french manager and coach want the younger players coming through testing themselves at the best level in either Australia or England, hopefully it's the first of many.

My son just told me the full back and prop are flying to Sydney tomorrow for a couple of months training over there with the roosters u20s. Great news.

There's only so many places at the Catalans. The Catalans can't take all the players from all over France to play in the French U19s or elite comp as it falsifies the two leagues
-
Not sure, i believe the full back has been contacted, I think he's keen to go to Australia for a season, same for a couple of the props, the number 15 who came on is looking for a club in England,
Most of these players would be interested in a stint in England but it's difficult to get picked up or find a club.

No just two in the squad, the Catalan don't have an academy, they play U19s like carca, toulouse, Lézignan etc,

22 20 for the English, 9 minutes left

Nice break from tropis, the full back hqs no 6 on his back griffier, excellent player
-
It must be hot because it's a shocking match

Justin Murphy is over in new Caledonia doing a couple of coaching clinics and probably trying to find some French qualified players,
They do a bit for French RL

This was the reason Alex Chan became manager I believe.

I don't know much about him, he played the game and is passionate about the game but I don't know much about him, his son took over as the French national women's coach straight after the election 2 years ago.
-
Toulouse says they're going on a mini tour so probably play the games away from Toulouse. Japan have the ground for training purposes.
-
Most where already at the pole espoirs in salon de Provence so just had to make the trip on game day, yes the better players need to travel to play in better teams and get better coaching, they trained separately during the school holidays.

Does the inclusion of three Carpentras lads in the u-19 squad suggest that the fortunes of the game are set to improve there, Barnyia, or is that reading too much into a single fact?
They had a very good u17s last season, worryingly it was 4 teams merged including players from Lyon, they've a very good U19s team this year due to the u17s moving up this season just gone. They lost in the semi final against xiii Catalan, the best result the elite 2 team had was a big win in the cup against baho when the team was made up of 9 or 10 U19s.
Carpentras are still struggling but have a very good generation in the juniors,

Enzo griffier who will play in the halves or at full back. Romain tropis centre very strong both played France u17s last year.
Mateo Stefani also who has been in the toulouse squad a couple of times.

Today at Victoria park Warrington,
The French team arrived on Thursday by bus then went straight to the St Helens game,
Touching moment yesterday at the shirt presentation as Konrad hurrell gave a speech and Laurent fraysinous presented his son with his match shirt.
