Odsal Outlaw Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 The team doesn’t look close to our best but, it’s an international, away in france, which we should do every year. It’s got us live coverage on BBC and if a weaker team makes it closer for the French then I’m fine with that. Would like this to be every year as our mid season international. Start to build up a regular international calendar. It gets cut through like nothing else.

Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 1 hour ago, UTK said: England team list. Extremely surprised Newman hasn't made the side, the rest is probably as expected. No disrespect intended to Lyne or Hardaker but Newman is the future so surely this game is perfect for giving him a debut. Completely agree Newman should be the 1st choice centre from that squad, I, didn’t realise the England team had already been posted. Interested to see the French team.
Mr Frisky Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Well our league have just asked me who will score more points for England out of this seasons man and woman of Steel.... Think ill go for the woman of Steel to score more on Saturday.
Scubby Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Ticket sales look pretty shocking for this game so buckle up!

Maybe 4,000 sold? The stand behind the goalposts is essentially empty, while the side that will be on the TV looks like it has sold pretty well, albeit that it is tiny.

Paul Kempster Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 I seem to remember Brisbane were the whipping boys at first in State of Origin but the Aussies persisted with it and I think France v England could be a fantastic game

Grand Est Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 i don't think this match will get a very big crowd at all. There is very little visibility of it here in France, and England's fans are not exactly known for travelling around to support their team (or even going to home matches!) The French team looks quite weak as well, so I think it will be an easy win for England, which also probably puts a lot of people off attending.

DI Keith Fowler Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Anyone seen an advert for this on the BBC? Don't watch so much live TV so don't know how much this is being promoted. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks.

Lets see what the crowd is but crucially the tv figures are. Cant build an event if it is only once in a blue moon. We have france in 2022 then lets make it happen in 2023 Can’t wait.

I think maybe 5/6000 but let's see Luc and the FFR13 are determined to build things and i am certain they will and everyone is 100% behind them. Let's do it. BTW sponsorship now sold out with several left disappointed internationals are the way to go: Paul

clogdance Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Having seen the England team this should be a close game.

Balmain1969 Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Game is now being televised in Aus SCRUM-FREE TEST Fox Sports has secured the rights to Saturday night’s France-England Test, which holds particular interest because it will be played without scrums. Eliminating scrums has been an argument around the NRL for years, with some pushing for it and others in fierce resistance. The Test, in Perpignan, gives supporters a chance to witness the scrum-less game at high level. Roosters coach Trent Robinson will be one interested observer, with Robinson a director of the French rugby league. Coverage starts 9.55pm Saturday.
