wow incredible pictures, who that samoan guy with the big fuzzy hair!

What stadium was it?

 

[astreizix]

Thanks ;-) .

For the game against Samoa the venue is "Bendichou Stadium" in Colomiers, town near from Toulouse. and the game against Tonga will be played in "Pierre ANTOINE Stadium" in Castres, another town of the "Midi-Pyrénées" area.

Both are R.U. stadium where France never played before and are attempt from the french federation to go out of the french R.L. heartland.

Good move by the French then. I hope they get a decent crowd in Castres, the one in those pics look good. Are you going to the Castres game? (take pics if you are! )

Crowd for the France v Samoa match was announced at 5,300 which is quite good.

Corbin - there are an number of guys on the Samoan team with "big fuzzy hair" but the number 2 in the picture is Malofou Solomona. He is a cousin I believe of David Solomona and is on contract with the Warriors.

Thanks for the pics.
I never thought we would get pics from this game on the forum.
Can I use a few of your pics for another thread I am going to start on NRL players in their national team jerseys (the ones with George Carmont in them)?

It is brilliant effort from French Rugby League Football. Great stuff to see all this international football going on at the moment. I would just love to be there at some of these games... Colomiers.... Dublin for Ireland and Lebanon.... It is like seeing the kindling of a great fire... a fire of rugby league over the world.
