Gets interesting at 5 min 30.

Short version:

 

[John Drake]

We don’t usually allow any kind of political stuff in here but this is worth making an exception for.

But please, stick to commenting on the rugby league aspect of it only. 

Any other comments on Macron’s state visit belong in the politics sub forum. 

Thanks

I love his passion when he speaks about RL!  

Would be great if we as a sport could start laying some foundations for the 2034 RLWC to be held in France.  That will be the 100 year anniversary of the sport in France, what better way to mark the occasion!

Great to see him bringing up our sport, and also not holding back on the Vichy darkness, good on him.

What’s with his telephone voice ?

Great to see it!

Well spotted and excellent on the part of Sir Speaker.  I'm in the process of copying the YouTube link to my friends (so that won't take long) via social media.
