Had a chat with 2 of the greek based players last night will put it up on my French you tube blog this evening or tomorrow.

Lovely guys really impressive 8 home based players in the squad.

Compare that to Ireland and Scotland, who've been in WCs for years and still not bothering with development.

The tournament is being hosted in England, France isn't in England 

And England isn't in France, but it would be in both tournaments interest to switch a game between tournaments. Especially if its a dead rubber game.

That's brilliant but how many away fans would they bring

I reckon there was at least 100 based on singing of the national anthem. There were at least a couple of dozen greek flags and plenty of people having selfies with the team when they came over to the stand at the end.

Wales isn't in England but at the 2015 RUWC it was! I certainly see the logic.

I love Greece and the people - but nowhere near as much as they do. A really patriotic place and still very family orientated (I know that's a swear word to some) who would be a fantastic addition to the international game, however small they may start out. 

Great to see.

Answer. Aussie NRL ref Kasey Badger became the first ever female to officiate in a men's WC series when she ran the line as an Assistant Ref.
