Eddie Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Good to see Scotland playing in Scotland. Any idea what stadium in Bordeaux? I’m guessing not the Stade de Bordeaux! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerjon Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Someone's got confused and given Scotland a game in Scotland? Good to see. Pleased to see games like this happening. 3 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Eddie Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 It looks like Old Watsonians play in the top tier of Scottish only Union, which is a division of only 6 teams - their loop fixtures must be excruciating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I'd be interested to see the strength of a French B team, presumably that would just be largely domestic French league players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only hope it's advertised locally and properly in Scotland, not just a piece of A4 in the butchers window on the high street, the televised games they showed from Scotland did our International credibility no good at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what about the English team, how strong do you expect that to be, will it be the guys on the periphery of selection for the full International squad?

I'd expect it to be in keeping with usual Knights teams, mainly young players on the periphery or with potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTK Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 France B would depend on whether players will be picked only from outside the top 17 or whether those in the 24-man squad will be considered. If only those outside the top 17 are considered you could end up with something like this from the English leagues, no doubt the FFR will use it as an opportunity to bring Elite One players though: 1. Morgan Escare 2. Paul Marcon 3. Gavin Margueirite/Hakim Miloudi 4. Matthieu Jussaume 5. Ilias Bergal 6. Lucas Albert 7. Cesar Rouge 8. Gadwin Springer 9. Thomas Lacans 10. Maxime Puech 11. Maxime Stefani 12. Corentin Le Cam 13. Anthony Marion 14. Louis Jouffret 15. Matthieu Cozza 16. Kevin Larroyer 17. Hugo Pezet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashmon Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 This is great news, games in France and Scotland. And England knights are correct level of opposition, as Scotland are weaker than Wales / Ireland, and its France B. Relly great news, now if only wales would play in wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Mens RL team in Bordeaux either (there is a woman’s team which is great), though historically there was so maybe the game can make a comeback there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
