France and Lebanon are in the same pool, with Australia and England. The winner of France vs Lebanon will proceed to to the quarter finals.
France's likely World Cup team:
Morgan Escare (Wigan)
Fouad Yaha (Catalans) Tony Gigot (Catalans), Benjamin Jullien (Warrington), Vincent Duport (Catalans)
Lucas Albert (Catalans)
Theo Fages (St. Helens)
Jason Baitieri (Catalans)
Mickael Simon (Catalans), Benjamin Garcia (Catalans)
Remi Casty (Catalans), Eloi Pelissier (Leigh) Julien Bousquet (Catalans)
Interchange: Kane Bentley (Toulouse), Gadwin Springer (Castleford), Romain Navarette (Wigan), Antoni Maria (Leigh)
Reserves:Gavin Marguerite (Toulouse), William Barthau (London), Damien Cardace (Lezignan), Kevin Larroyer (Castleford), Thibault Margalet (Catalans)
Lebanon could pick a team that included the following:
FB: Reece Robinson (returning from RU)
CE: Josh Mansour (Penrith), Travis Robinson
FE: Michell Moses (Parramatta)
PR: Tim Mannah (Parramatta),
HK: Robbie Farah (Souths), Michael Lichaa (Canterbury):
But while the above mentioned Lebanese heritage players are all outstanding (Travis Robinson excepted), the fact of the matter is that the second division players that would make up the bulk of the Lebanon pack will be no match for the seasoned first graders in the French pack. Robbie Farah would probably have to play scrum half and have Lichaaa as hooker for the team to function.
