Are all these players at Catalans and Toulouse or is there a mix of a few clubs?
Mixture, Avignon, Lézignan, Villeneuve, limoux, Carcassonne, albi, even elite 2 teams

I’d rather see the French youngsters go down under and play in the jersey flegg competition or Queensland equivalent than being lost to union.
He had an offer but didn't want to leave his family

This is the French Squad:https://www.ffr13.fr/xiii-de-france-u19-la-liste-des-joueurs-retenus-pour-le-stage-5-a-lezignan/
Very strong squad IMO, starting 13 probably looks like this
1-Baptiste Pourchi
2-Romeo Tropis
3-Guillaume Poulain
4-Clement Martin
5-Timeo Portier
6-Mathis Jammes
7-Maxime Rostang
8-Sacha Kouassi
9-Hugo Garrigues
10-Rayan Bonte
11-Felix Aubry
12-Quentin Malbec
13-Gulliermo Aispuro-BichetRostang and Aipuro-Bichet definitely the stars, will both great SL players in the future I’m sure. A lot of other good players aswell like Martin, Pourchi and Kouassi.
Shame Enzo Griffier isn’t in the squad.
I think pourchi will be on the wing, i believe tropis is injured, and Martin will probably be going to union. (Definitely a waste)! I reckon leny marc will be in the team

He's playing full back because he's not getting picked at 7 for the Catalan, he's very light, he's in the last 30 for the France squad, he's not the only 2006 in the squad, as I said he's a very good player and a really good kid but I wouldn't put any french kid in the top'30 in the world,
-
Mathis Fraysinous is a very good player but probably not even in the best 30 in France never mind the world,
-
To even the game up just ask refs to referee the score, it seems to be like that in France, you get a couple of scores ahead in France and suddenly the ref becomes very strict with the winning team and a little more relaxed with the losing team, makes for tight games
, especially near the end of the game.

Can you say who?
Sorry no but it's a very good forward who will do a great job at his new club for the summer.
Sam cook has signed at york Hugues from Avignon is also going to york. But these have already been announced.

I know of one. But its very expensive since Brexit due to visa regulations and minimum wages for having a visa.

If gigot hadn't have got annoyed when he dropped the ball and kicked the ball dead albi probably would have won, instead of a tap on the 20 and seven tackles it would have been a scrum on the ten, so it would have finished with a different kick.
-
No closest place is Lézignan, there's nothing in Narbonne,
-
Yes union gets bigger crowds and has more registered players

No Artiga is a big out, going to be interesting to see how Dauliac goes 9, much more a 13 and definitely won’t have the running threat of Artiga.
I've coached them both Djibril was always a 9 and prefers 9 but plays 13 to help the team, ludo is a great defensive 9 but is definitely not much of a running threat, he's been working hard but doesn't have the confidence to have dangerous running game yet.

I don't think you need to qualify you just need to have a team,
-
It says on the French federation site that it's 6 teams,
Serbia v Ukraine winner plays England in the sem and USA v Scotland winner plays France in the other semi, then 5v6 play off, 3v4 play off and final

I haven’t seen anything about it. Four teams would be disappointing. Who’s joining Serbia? We need to be encouraging the developing nations to grow the junior game.
France, England, and I heard Scotland, but as I said I was told there was only four teams but that could change,

I wasn’t sure which age group it was. I get that covid halted it but it needs resurrecting and, for me, at a slightly younger age group.
It's happening this year in Serbia again late July, I believe there's only 4 teams this year. But not sure if that part is true or not.

Albi are the only real team that can hold carcassonnes powerful forwards, Carcassonne are a little more forward orientated this season and work around the ruck a lot more, the influence of teddy Sadauoi I reckon, if you keep gigot quiet especially if your wingers are ready for the 40/20s and cross field kicks Albi aren't very dangerous when gigot isn't having a good day, Lézignan beat them twice and both games he didn't do much, I love watching him play, especially his 20 mètre flat passes that beat 3 or 4 defenders on their own, I see a carcassonne win unless they have an off day like last year in the final v Limoux, but I know they've learnt a big lesson from that day( me too

The Albi u17s play Lézignan in the curtain raiser, in the semi final of the play offs, Lézignan beat them 2 weeks ago in the cup final by a couple of points,

England Academy v France
in The General Rugby League Forum
Posted
Very complicated, not all the best players go to Toulouse or Catalan, they need to change schools if they do, they end up playing against their old team at exactly the same level, the Catalans and Toulouse don't scout in France, and they never contact players they wait for them to come to trials, they don't offer money or signing on fees, then they offer peanuts to play elite 1, players will get more at their local club if they make first grade and they've a better chance of making first grade at their local club too. As i said it's a complicated situation, they pass their exams at 18, the Catalans have 40 players in u19s but I reckon out of the 40 only 8 or 9 would be in the top 30 players in france, Toulouse would probably have 4 or 5, they're are some very good players in the other clubs, this may be why france struggles after u18s as there are no real pro set ups with a real chance of making it as a full time pro. The academy playing English teams was the way forward but it was too expensive to run,
