audois Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Good to see. Four matches in New Zealand from 27 September. 24 players to travel from below group.of thirty-five. Great opportunity for lads like Brochon, Cozza, Carré and Salabio who have played regularly for Baby Dracs in Elite 1 this past season. Also Lima from TO who has played in the Championship as well Lacans and Gouzy from FCL. Add on back rower Goffin from Villeneuve/Lot who has also stood out in Elite 1. "It involves matters much greater than drafting the new rules...the original and existing games have their own powerful appeal to their players and public and have the sentiments which history inspires" - Harold 'Jersey' Flegg 1933 "Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart." - Jean Roque, Calendrier-revue du Racing-Club Albigeois, 1958-1959 Si tu( Remi Casty) devais envoyer un fax au Président Guasch?

barnyia Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 And fabre from albi who has played all season in the albi first team as a 17 year old, I've heard he's going to leeds for a season in the academy now he's passed his exams, not sure if morgue, jussaume and le cam are too old or why they've not been picked, The team seems to have been picked from the juniors that play first grade and the ones from the pole/creps rugby colleges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnyia Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The reason they can go to new Zealand is that the debt the French fédération was in has been paid off and for the first time in a long long time the fédération actually has a little money, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwis 13 6 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 looks like the games according to this article will be against the South Island U19's, Samoa U19's, Auckland Under 20 side and the NZ residents U19's. As France are the current European U19 Champions it will be interesting to see how they go in NZ. Honestly cant remember when the last representative sides below test level toured New Zealand. Good that the French Rugby League have made a profit and are investing money in to youth Representative tours. https://treizemondial.fr/le-groupe-de-la-france-u19-pour-preparer-la-tournee-en-nouvelle-zelande/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvy wg Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 This is the strongest U19 team I've ever seen us put out. 4 or 5 lads could be part of France senior squad. Salabio, Lacans, Fabre and Goffin are Elite 1 stand outs. François Dorce-Hantz apparead in Elite 1 for Avignon a couple times this year while Laguarre has been excellent in Elite 2 (9 tries in 14 games) at just 17 years old, Toulouse made no mistake and signed him!

barnyia Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 The under 17s are going to England this month, I've just read the women are going to turkey and italy, the France À are going to Australia for the nines then the rest of the squad are flying over for a couple of games in Australia, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnyia Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 A as in the catalans and toulouse players aren't involved I think. Yes u17s/16s due to season differences and age group dates (January to January) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackojacko Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 If it really is just the Elite 1 players heading out for the 9s then they're doing their best not to get invited for the next one (admittedly not for a while). Apart from that, it's excellent news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abicus Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 No Catalans players for the 9's? What? Why? Why cant the French national side organise a Test? Weren't they meant to tour PNG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim from Oz Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I find it very hard to believe the full French squad isn’t going out for the nines. The whole thing is being paid for by the RLIF ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
