Would France even want to play against Yorks or Lancs, a nation versus a region ?
It would be rather embarrassing when they get tonked by the red or white roses.

I reckon the French national side would struggle to beat a side like Harlequins right now
Seems strange France are ranked above Fiji in the RLIF rankings to me. |

I agree, France is just Catalans without the half decent Aussies, the Aussie that they miss being replaced by NL1 players.
Pointless |

What is the point in Australia v France? or NZ v France? England are probably the closest nation to the French in terms of talent and even they can flog them.
France as a national side are a bit of a joke.
They might beat Wales or Ireland... but one of the so called 'big 3'??
Nope.'"
We have to percevier with the development of any nation that can put a team out , if as we do , we want the sport as a whole to grow |

France have more of a chance against Lancs and Yorks or West/East England, because you are splitting up the main talent pool in this country yet still both those clubs are better than France.
A Barbarians side would be at the same level as a L/Y or W/E ENG team.
As a spectacle
A four team tournament that would be competitive
a) West England
b) East England
c) Barbarians(Antipodeans)
d) Rest of Europe

Well Australia and NZ played one another in the Southern Hemisphere before having to fly 12,000 miles to play in cold wet windy England to play against GB... on their home turf.
If anyone has got anything to complain about it should be Aus or NZ really. |
