I`m aware of that. Guilt by Saturday morning association. I was more of a Swap Shop child. Although in the comparable contemporary defining dichotomy, I preferred Magpie to Blue Peter.

langpark Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I just watched this great interview! What a shame France (women) are in the same group as Aus and NZ at the World Cup. Fair to say, they have no chance of progressing past the group stage, I just hope they can put up some resistance and their scorelines are respectable. Against Cook Islands, do they have a chance of winning perhaps? t a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, the last major French women`s RL game was the 2019 final between Toulouse and Catalanes, where there was a tangible improvement in quality on previous years. So they were moving in the right direction. Problem for the French now, likewise England, is that unless things change pretty quickly, they won`t have played much for two years by Nov 2021. One thing Laureane didn`t mention is that her 2019 Easts Tigers season was also cut short when she picked up a bad leg injury. She had to return home to France to do her rehab. Such are the perils for women RL players when they run out of money and luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the French women did briefly return to action in mid-2020. Not sure how many matches were played, but I think I saw some activity on social media. You are right though, it is a big blow for France and England, who were already up against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was the Toulouges 9s in October. This was intended as the prelude to the new season but, as far as I`m aware, only a single game (Catalanes v Lescure) was played before the French government announced the return to lockdown. I rhetorically asked on another thread why in both France and England women`s RU activity seems to be continuing when all RL is on hold. More money around, maybe?

barnyia Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 In France the players need to be classed as top level or pro/semi pro. But with the cost of weekly testing I'm not sure the clubs could afford it. My u19s almost carried on but we didn't for some reason (probably the cost of tests). The union U19s and u23 elite have carried on. In Narbonne union the two younger teams carried on but the first team had to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
