Rugby XIII sport introduced in France in 1934 called The Greatest Game by Australians has not been broadcast on the major national channel France 2 for more than 33 years. Rugby at 65-68 minutes of effective playing time, ventilated because 26 players instead of 15, with simple rules, line of defense at 10m, no stoppage of play for the keys, no devastating rucks, no mauls where players pile up at 15, no stoppage for replacements, no scrums, just 80% of hand play by hand!

An extraordinary show. It is high time to mediate this Rugby of the Future. The 2025 World Cup is fast approaching, it will be organized in France as a unique opportunity to offer the French public the matches and until then to do as during the 60s and 70s of the time of the ORTF broadcast at least the finals of the French Championship and Cup.
