The u17s go to England the 13th to 20 th July, two matches against England lions at victoria park Warrington, one at 11am on a Saturday, no way to treat an international u17s game, they played in nice stadiums and a massive effort was made with marching bands and big crowds here on France,
I might be going to saint Gaudens but it's a 2h30/45 drive one way so not sure yet.

Tag, he has the rights and he set up a federation to be the official oztag/tag/flag association, even though nobody plays it much.

That is quite an eye opening way of framing it then.
Yes let's see what score France v England would be at handball in the u17s,19s womens and open age

The Mysteries of French Rugby League.
I wonder if Touch Rugby or Tag are played in the League areas.
It's played usually by older players getting a team together and to socialise, it's not a real set up with games. Just mates playing on a Thursday night before eating together. Some mad guy has the rights to flag rugby,
There's a big cross over between league and union at the Thursday night touch, even though the union guys still refuse to play the ball and just dump it or pass it between their legs

14500 people regularly participate in handball in the UK according to Google, so more than RL in France.

We don't even know when the next season starts or when the general meeting to talk about next year is yet, never mind planning Monday night games

It's a good question. I'm sure someone smarter could put together a framework(*) but you'd be looking at things like: attendance, memberships, income, range of sponsors, 'reach' (TV deals but also social media), media coverage, number of weeping Frenchmen when the national side lose ...
I did a very quick search earlier today which had rugby union at 8th on a rough participation figure but I imagine it would be higher if you did that sort of metrics approach above. I'm just not sure where league would be.
My reason for asking is that I'm interested in seeing how it would stack up against an equivalent positioned sport here. (Something like, say, volleyball). Just as a way of seeing what's realistic from that position and how do we build to get there - rather than overpraising because there is some passionate support and overdamning (which I'm guilty of) because they completely wrecked the World Cup by not having the first clue what they were doing.
Maybe the same numbers as handball in the UK?

Rugby union is 10th in participation numbers with 303,000 licences,
Rugby league has 11000 licences so way down the list,
You need a license to be a water carrier, a coach, a physio, even to be part of the clubs board, so it doesn't really show playing numbers

Most elite 1 clubs have no more than 2 or 3 employees, the rest are volunteers, the camera men and commentators do it for free or a couple of hundred euros,
People have no idea how well French RL does with such little resources and money, the number of players they produce etc etc.
Some teams are championship level on the field and stadiums nut nowhere near in set up.

Limoux, Albi , Carcassonne and Pia have quality streams with good commentators.

I can also recommend it, I was in there only last week!
If you go there, try the cassoulet, it's lovely.
A bit warm for cassoulet

Theres a France RL shop in the federation building. It's on the route du Minervois

There's a few RL shirts in the entry to le jardin de carcassas restaurant in the castle, Karim Sabri the owner sponsors Carcassonne and a few local teams, great food too.

I reckon defenders will now have to do more shoulder tackles and no longer controling chest tackles, this may cause more head contact for the tackler, they'll be getting hit more by the ball carrying elbow or players hipas they'll try to tackle under the ball. Very difficult for taller players.

His feet left the floor when dropping him on his head, nasty tackle, brain fart.

Dangerous tackle,it's a shame for him as he was on a 3 week trial due to not being able to stay longer than a month as he needs a visa now to play in the UK.

So he admits he was a ref in the final game of the comp and didn't know the rules the game was played under? That's worse ! He admits incompetence.
Should the governing body not make sure all refs knows the rules? The English and French had different interpretations of the same rule I believe, of course he's incompetent most refs in France are, especially at the lower levels, there's about 50 refs in the whole of France.
I'm not defending him, just giving a reason why he could have cracked up like he did.
He was a u15s ref and a touch judge in elite in abled body RL. He ended up reffing wheelchair rugby in France as they needed refs and not many refs wanted to do it as a lot of travel is involved.

He explained that the rules in France and UK aren't the same for abled bodied players projecting their chair. That's why he started to get annoyed. That's why he kept doing the thrusting movement and in France a couple of tries wouldn't have counted, that's what they're saying in France anyway, I know the ref very well. I don't think he'd want to ever ref again so the ban won't make much difference. His actions where terrible though and he should be banned.

Ille said they may move up but I read today that they won't, Villefranche where keen but said they wanted to win the final to get promoted, so I doubt they will, it would be great if one them did,

Rémi and Thibaut didn't play,
Thibaut injured and apparently a car accident for Rémi.

Paul what was the name of the summer regional comp in the early 90s televised, concerts, big crowds and then they somehow ran out of money, it's on YouTube somewhere but I can't find it, excellent coverage etc and then it came to an abrupt end.
