Are all these players at Catalans and Toulouse or is there a mix of a few clubs?

The 31-player, French squad breaks down thus.  9 are from St Esteve/XIII Catalan (i.e. Les Dracs); there are 4 each from Toulouse Olympique, Avignon and Villeneuve; Carcassonne, Entraigues, Albi and Lezignan each contribute 2; and there is one from both of Limoux and Carpentras.

The squad will be cut to 21 for the trip over, then they go to serbia late july and Australia in October(to be confirmed) 

[barnyia]

The french list is down to 24, last ger together the 24th june, 

[BroncoFan]

Pretty strong England squad overall when there are some good quality players who missed out.

So it’s a one-off test?

[barnyia]

Test v England academy, then  euro cup in serbia mid july and maybe a tour to Australia in October, The 17s play two tests v England lions in Nantes at the end of july

That is fantasic if confirmed. Would also give Enzo Griffier a chance to play with the side, making his NSW Cup debut as week speak. Scored in the first half aswell. 

[barnyia]

I can see Enzo playing for the full France team v England, or at least be in the squad, 

[barnyia]

Cup? He was named at second row in jersey flegg, 

[barnyia]

He's playing on the wing, scored a try, 

[JM2010]

Some positives coming out of France at the moment. Be great for the players development if they could tour Australia at the end of the year.

He was named to debut on the wing in cup on Tuesday. Was only posted on the official roosters website though not the NSWRL website.

Definitely, he’s versatility is a big part of that. He can pretty much play every on the field besides front row. Would also like to see Aispuro-Bichet in the squad.

2. Fouad Yaha  
3. Matthieu Laguerre
4. Arthur Romano 
5. Hakim Miloudi
6. Arthur Mourgue
7. Theo Fages

Well i will ask the question today, can see out of the starting 13 minus 4 and 1 from the subs.

Match will only be broadcast on Super League + as for promotion havant a clue what's going on hope its a success as sponsorship wise not being on a main channel in France or the UK is difficult.

Pretty similar to my starting 13 too although I don’t rate Navarette or Goudemand.

I would actually start with Springer and Dezaria in their place.

It’ll be between him and Maria for that last prop spot i reckon.

I think Goudemand’s been alright this season. Besides there’s not much depth in the second row for France. Stefani is superb but after him there’s a big drop off. Next best would probably be Yann Belmaaziz from Limoux. Jullien and Le Cam are nowhere near as good as they used to be.

Navarette has been excellent coming off the bench for the Dragons this season and has just earned a contract extension

Here is the official France squad for the academy test:https://www.ffr13.fr/xiii-de-france-u19-la-liste-des-joueurs-retenus-pour-le-stage-6-a-lezignan/

A few very surprising omissions like Guillaume Poulain, Quentin Malbec, Timeo Portier.

[barnyia]

Apparently it's going to be a 20 man squad for the academy game, a 21 man squad for Serbia and 24 man squad for Australia, 

[BroncoFan]

Jack Farrimond - man of the match for Wigan v London.

There’s some good under 18 talent in the halves now.

George Whitby, Farrimond, Jack Charles & Fergus MCCormack at Leeds.

Harry Robertson can play there too.

Warrington have a good half who is quick and evasive in Joe Hickey, one to keep an eye out for.

There’s also Leon Hayes at Warrington and Jack Sinfield at Leeds

Any idea if this is streamed anywhere? TIA
