welshmagpie Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Fages’ injury is a massive shame. Never seems to be available for France when it matters most. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandOffHalf Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Shame about the huge outs in Fages and Bousquet. I'm disappointed that Miloudi isn't there. He always makes a game more fun and watchable with his high-jinks and antics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTK Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Navarrete must be injured surely to miss out on selection, big blow with Bousquet already out. Something like this must be close to the first 17?: 1. Morgan Escare 2. Arthur Romano/Paul Marcon 3. Samisoni Langi 4. Matthieu Laguerre 5. Fouad Yaha 6. Arthur Mourgue 7. Tony Gigot 8. Jordan Dezaria 9. Alrix Da Costa 10. Mickael Goudemand 11. Benjamin Jullien 12. Paul Seguier/Maxime Stefani 13. Ben Garcia 14. Eloi Pelissier 15. Lambert Belmas 16. Justin Sangare 17.

As per @ATLANTISMAN's youtube channel where he asked Alex Chan on Joe's stance on playing for France - I believe he said something along the lines of he didn't want to take the place of a born-and-bred Frenchman in the squad at this point in time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was still a strong chance of making the main squad. I feel his unpredictable, off-the-cuff style offers an added element that could have aided France. Oh well... I hope he goes well against the Knights. I suppose if there are late pull-outs or injuries he's always a chance of getting a call-up.

Possibly S according to Fédération Française de Rugby XIII regardinf France B We have three objectives: to prepare for the future and plan for the 2025 World Cup, to play high-level matches to make them progress and finally to open the door to the World Cup squad for high-performance players in the event of injury.

Is Joe French born? If not he’s no longer eligible on residency once he heads to Melbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not he’s no longer eligible on residency once he heads to Melbourne Neither of the Chan lads are, both Australian born I believe. Yeah I remember stumbling upon that inadequacy in the rules after Kheirallah left Toulouse, extremely strange requirement and I wholeheartedly agree with you that being capped once should confirm eligibility in perpetuity. I also think a cumulative residency option for eligibility should be imposed as is the case in some other sports, what amount of years that should be is not something I can answer but breaking a 4 year residency should not require an individual to start the required continuous 5 years again to gain eligibility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audois Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) It's the older Chan Tiaki - isn't playing against the Knights There are two players in both squads Le Cam and Rougé - wanted them to have some playing time Gigot seems to have gone back to his own town Avignon. Frayssinous was convinced by his desire to be involved - last chance maybe The coach has other names such as TO players Bergal and Jussaume as back- ups if injuries occur too 7 players from TO 13 players from Dragons Edited September 25, 2022 by audois 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?

ATLANTISMAN Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Fages seems to have no interest in playing for France injury or no injury i predicted at the start of the season that regardless he would not appear in the WC for them. Just watch Joe Chan fly he will be sensational after a couple of seasons at the Storm the next SBW his ability to unload in the tackle is superb and will only get better. Paul PS/Remember them when they first came over in 2006 we used to call their club car the Chan Van with all the little rascals in it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
