France have named their 19-man squad for Saturday’s international Test against England: and it includes a large number of Super League players.
There is a heavy contingent from Catalans Dragons, as expected – including the likes of Vincent Duport, Ben Garcia, Tony Gigot and Remi Casty.
But there is also English-based talent in the 19-man squad, which will be the first under their new coaching setup.
Castleford’s Gadwin Springer, Warrington’s Benjamin Jullien and new Leigh Centurions signing Eloi Pelissier are among the other top-flight players included – with Wakefield forward Mickael Simon also included.
France 19-man squad to face England:
Olivier Arnaud, William Barthau, Jullian Bousquet, Guillaumme Bonnet, Remi Casty, Alrix Da Costa, Vincent Duport, Benjamin Garcia, Tony Gigot, Mickael Goudemand, Benjamin Jullien, Kevin Larroyer, Romain Navarette, Mathias Pala, Eloi Pelissier, Ugo Perez, Stan Robin, Mickael Simon, Gadwin Springer.
