Just on a side note, but still related to French RL - are England lining up another game in France soon?

Or was it deemed to be a commercial failure?

I enjoyed the match and the French after a terrible start had very competitive stages of the game.

Guess we have to hope that hosting a World Cup will lay the groundwork to make existing French clubs stronger and green shoots of recovery can happen in former strongholds.

Thanks for sharing. It’s hard to believe the Velodrome was almost sold out for an Elite 1 game between Marseille and Paris. Bordeaux and Lyon in the top division too.
