Fabre and Pedrero with absolutely stellar games. Pedrero 3 Tries and Fabre 2 Try Assists and 1 Try. I was also really impressed with the young front rower Mathias Leveille, he was superb.

Heavily Officiated game, but Villeneuve were really poor in defence at times, though they did hold them out for the first 30 minutes of 2nd half which is impressive.

Baptiste Fabre does look a very good talent, he’s currently playing for The Brisbane tigers in the QLD cup, but he isn’t getting much game time unfortunately just because of how good the Brisbane tigers are.
I’m sure he will be a regular next season though with Corey Thompson and others moving on, Though he is easily good enough to be a top player in the QLD cup/Championship. Might be a target for some super league teams aswell but we will see.

Baptiste left during the season and plays for Tully tigers. Crespo the ref likes a penalty, big problem over here is that rules are rules and refs like to be seen.

do you know if he has fully left brisbane or will he be back next season.

looks like he was doing pretty well for Tully he scored 6 tries in about 10 from 6.

He's playing in Albi for a month or two then back to Brisbane, good kid from a great family. 

[barnyia]

He's in the preliminary squad for the France game v Kenya early December.

Decent performance by the juniors too.

Disappointing crowd though for the main game with loads of empty places in the stand. Maybe The Leopards didn’t provide any ‘wow’ factor ?

Jack Cook will be back for the away trip to SOA followed by two more away games, weird match planning !

Was it the stream quality or was it chucking it down throughout the game?

That’s not exclusive to France.

He was in the nominations for the player of the season in his division, alongside Ben barba and other ex NRL players !

First I’ve heard of that too. France will put three figures past Kenya without breaking sweat. A quick search doesn’t have anything on this game.

Must be a typo, i never head anything about this game either.

They've announced a 30 man young squad, Lézignan have Luc brocas and Jordan Flovie, limoux have announced their 5 players so have Albi, they will cut the squad to 20 for the two games early December. The games will be played in Kenya

Wow pretty incredible.

France need to play games or they will slip out of the top 10

Gone are the days when Ellis was touting VSL for League 1 in England.

I follow Albi on X and they haven’t put anything on there. I will check their FB account.

I’m surprised France can afford to send a squad and officials to Kenya.

It’s there. Sorry for doubting you barnyia. Due to be played Friday 1st December. I don’t see what France will take from this other than actually playing. Several thousand euros for the privilege of trouncing Kenya doesn’t seem like a good use of resources to me. They may as well play the Netherlands. Far cheaper and probably more of a challenge. No disrespect to Kenya.
