Aussie/Kiwis playing in France

[Spike]

I was wondering if someone could give me a run down on the Aussies/Kiwis currently playing in the French Elite competition and which club they play for. These are the players that I'm aware of but I'm sure there are more.

Chris Beattie, Dean Bosnich, Sean Rudder, Justin Murphy, Matt Bickerstaff (Pia)

Brian Jellick and James Wynne????????

 

[YANTO]

Dayne Neyrinckx ( Pia) Dutchman to boot.

 

[Narcissist]

Ok I will give it a shot.

UTC: Chris Beattie, Matt Bikerstaff, Justin Murphy, Sean Rudder
Limoux: Brian Jellick, Justin Mackay
Toulouse: James Wynne, Justin Morgan, Sam Murphy, Trent Robinson
Pia: Dean Bosnich, Brett O'Farrell, Denny Lambert, Craig West, Tom O'Reily
St Gaudens: Russell Bussian, Kevin Cook, Adam Innes, Des Clark, Phil Middlebosch
Villeneuve: Vincent Wulf, ??? Little help
Carcassonne: Pat Gibson, Daniel Power, Brett Trudgett, Simon Dorrell,Dave Lattele, Rocky Edwards, Andrew Beattie
Villefranche: Saulo PAEU, Malakai-Hala LATU, Ryan Clayton
Lezignan: Andrew Pierce, Nathan Vagg, Ray Cashmere
Lyon: Shaun Wessel, Adam Davidson

Im sure there are a few others but cant find them. The clubs with up to date websites make it easy.

It's no suprise. You'll find players produced under the Australian RL systems in every major Rugby (Both codes) competition in the world. The NSWRL and QRL junior systems are without peer in the world.

Yeah a few of those players are back in Australia, apparently a few of the teams are falling to pieces both on and off the field over there. Shame after so much good news coming from France in the past 6 months.

Throw in Dane O'Donnell for Lyon, he went across this season from Newtown.

What T-Ba has said is correct, the level of talent produced by Australia is amazing, its indicative of our sporting culture.

Carcassonne players Andrew Beattie and David Letele were playing with North Sydney Bears last year.

[Puig-Aubert]

For Limoux you have Tyron Pau, Laity and Nelson.

 

[Big Bunny]

Don't quote me on it but I think he's a Kiwi who became a French citizen/carries a French passport.

 

[hutch]

i have a mate playing for st gaudens, luke taggert. he says there are 6 or 7 aussies in his team i think.

I am going to quote you on it cause you are acctually correct. He became a French citizen after spending about 5 years in France. I believe he has acctually married in France as well.
