Hopefully it's only for this month, union, football, basketball etc are all still playing, the kids are not happy!
-
That's the most baffling thing, I know the lower division teams said they need to be able to sell food and drinks or they'd lose too much money, as for the kids there's no reasonable at all, especially as they've only played around 10 games in 3 years due to covid, and the licence prices have stayed the same and never been reimbursed, even last year when they didn't play a single game.

Villeneuve v Catalan called off already, COVID in the Villeneuve team, I don't think it'll be the only one to get called off, only elite 1/2 and elite juniors and elite women allowed to play, lower division, all kids and teenage leagues on hold for three weeks including all lord derby cup games, the only sport in France to put competitions on hold,
-
They've managed to sort out the draw, before the quater final draw the 7 teams that are left are put into a bag and the first one drawn out goes straight into the semi final. So only 3 games in the quarter final, this is the federation that wants the 2025 world cup!

The federation have messed up, there's only 14 fixtures in the last 16. So it would mean only 7 teams in the quarter finals,
Luc Lacoste needs to have a word with his team, all this after a lobsided regional draw etc. It would be like having a Yorkshire draw a Lancashire draw, a Cumbria draw and a southern draw up to the semi final for the challenge cup in the UK. Madness.
-
They've done a regional draw for the first time ever and didn't tell the clubs, also the round after is all set up too, match 10 v match 14 etc, the winner of Carcassonne v Lézignan plays the winner of Ille a Catalan to keep it local, the only problem is is that all the better teams in elite 1 and 2 are in the same area/side of the first draw,
Madness!

Looking like the rearranged game Carcassonne v st Gaudens will be called off, St Gaudens can't raise a team dur to injuries and players being away on holiday!
They've just announced a signing from New Zealand so they should be ok for the rest of the season.
-
Ok I'll take it back, good effort by macron and the Catalan
-
Catalan jersey should be out soon and they reckon a surprising sponsor, probably just surprising for the French
-
A bit of decent weather for the Carcassonne v Catalan game, 14/15 degrees and sunshine according to the forecast.

Being filmed facing the main stand, now you can see how many fans we get in France! That penalty try was a bit harsh!

The Catalan kit should be out soon, looking at the training stuff the players have I can't see the kit being a classic this year, what's macron kit designs usually like?
-
All the u19s games have been either cancelled or moved to other grounds due to the heavy rain we've had the last few days,

Nathan peat, inu, Maloney, it's been a while since top quality names came to the French comp , Daniel wagon the last maybe? before that Paul sironen?

Thanks for this @barnyia . I love the black away jersey. Oddly it’s for sale on the O’Neills website but it forces me to go to their UK website where it isn’t available. https://www.oneills.com/int_en/shop-by-team/rugby/rugby-league/as-carcassonne-xiii.html?fbclid=IwAR25X-OweIjuKRXcN9esxLKclQJdLu0BuRlarODNCvSmmZZwUIYtPgngvTU&p=1
Do Carcassonne get decent crowds, by Elite 1 standards?
The black is the home shirt normally, they get 5/600 for a normal match a few more for a derby.

No the last couple of games he's been in the halves. I was speaking to one of the coaching staff who said it's a shame to play him 9 as he's playing really well in the halves. Personally I prefer him at 9 as he's quick, always makes th right choice.

James Maloney trained with Feuceuleu and could start this weekend at Limoux.
Will the excellent Thomas lacans be playing 9 now
. He's having a great season and could definitely step up a division/level or two I reckon,
-
The club's Facebook page, or YouTube page depending on the club, Carcassonne, Lézignan, are usually Facebook, Villeneuve,Albi and limoux usually you tube,
2 games a month to be on via Occitanie and sport in France from next week or the week after.

If the Catalan u19s play like they did yesterday v Lézignan they'll lose with at least 40 points against toulouse u19s
-
Clare balding as host?
-
It's 4 degrees and windy in Lézignan.
-
The Union highlights on channel 5 was decent to watch, even if I'm not a big fan of union it was well presented, well explained and very positive when talking about the games even if it was a kickathon.

Serious question, why would anyone pretend to have funds to set up a small Elite 2 team - what would the purpose of that be?
That's what lots of people can't understand over here, he wanted to go directly into elite 1 at the beginning but the old ffr xiii president put them in the third division, the new president believed his lies and out them in elite 2

Elite 1 is back this weekend

All games off this weekend, the clubs have been asked by the fédération to cancel, next week should have been the cup which won't be played until the end of January or maybe later, the games from this weeks cancellation will be played mid February. So Lézignan won't have played since early December, they should play in a couple of weeks time on the 23rd Jan, carcassonne last played mid December and won't play again until at least 29th January.
