I'm sure I read someone that it's being shown in France (Bein channel I think), not sure about anyone else covering it though.

Apparently the game is live on the BBC red button so hopefully some nice person gets an English stream going.
No sign of it on Fox as of yet.

Check the guide later in the week on Foxtel Plus, that's where the Samoa v Fiji game popped up a couple of weeks ago without notice. No guarantees but that will be the best bet.

FTA TV in both England & France, if ever there is a sign Rugby League needs to focus more on Internationals this is it.

Hopefully France can get their shit together on the field to make it bearable to watch.

Previous history suggests a 40-70 point loss

Previous history also shows some games where they've stood up and not been totally dismantled. Depends which attitude they come to the game with, with mostly pro players they SHOULD never have 80 points put on them again even by the best of the best.
