The French and English juniors really are close development wise.

Two close games by the looks of it. England finishing the stronger in both. I think any true advocate of the International game would love to see this replicated at the highest level.

Here's an interesting one, Herbie Farnworth the fullback/winger for England has apparently been signed by the Brisbane Broncos.
He had a 6 week stint playing in Queensland a couple of years ago, killed it and was invited back which led to the signing.

Are they allowed to do that?

I can't see why not, he arrives in July.

I had to dig this thread out because Herbie Farnsworth is making his debut for Brisbane Broncos u/20 tomorrow night. He has only just turned 17 so he could possibly be the youngest player to play Holden Cup
