Andrew Bentley (Dragons Catalans)

Thomas Bosc (Dragons Catalans)

Remy Casty (Dragons Catalans)

Vincent Duport (Toulouse Olympique)

Olivier Elima (Dragons Catalans) (c)

I make that 15 out of 20 players from the Dragons all playing on the Saturday before playing Tuesday against Castleford!!



Brilliant development for the French game this, brilliant!

In a season where Catalans have struggled in the Superleague, an extra match is the last thing they need.

does anyone know anything about the france v england junior match at Villeneuve next week ? any idea of the squads etc ? can't seem to find out any info

No Kane? Who will play SO? Will it be Touxagas with Raguin in the Centres or will Duport play there with Villegas on the wing?

Do we really reckon either of the FCL players will make the 17?

Pointless yet two posts.

If England were to play Wales or the imaginary SL All Stars what would France do?

I know Catalonia are looking for internationals. Would that help France develop and gain top class experience?

Would a Lancashire v Yorkshire and a LER Presidents v Catalans be a better match for both National sides?

It works for me.

I will be looking forward to the game, as always when England play France but as has been mentioned previously by James another game is the last thing we need right now.



Where this game would be more useful is having England pick a side of very young players and allow bobby to pick a squad from the LER with younger dragons/toulouse players maybe.



The only problem there being is your basically making the game a "B" team game and will negate any chance of making money from the event.

double header?
