They are getting more and more professional the FFR XIII. Its really refreshing. Can't wait to see their new Canterbury jerseys!

Arles is the city isnt it? What is the actual stadium...?

Just read on a French forum that the score was 80 - 0 to the French.
The half time score was 34 - zip.

Massive result for the French if that was the final score.

They are going to be pushing for the tri-nations to be expanded. If they got hrough the Euro Nations Cup undefeated and win it easily, they need to be considered for a 4 Nations next year in Aust and NZ.

It will only make more people aware of the growing nature of International League ahead of the 2008 World Cup.

And with PNG gaining some exposure in Aust at the moment, people will realise it's not only Aust, NZ and G.B playing at a decent level.

I really hope France continue their improvements they are showing in the last 12-18 months.

Is that the new French jersey? Or is it just an alternative strip being used cause Russia are also blue.

If it is the new jersey it is very GB like....

Sébastien RAGUIN, second row, 1.88m, 120kg, his powerfull runs with ability to off load conbined with his size provides a handfull for most teams.

Does this result but pressure on the new russian admin,could a loss to georgia bring about the return of dynamo and the casino owner?

 

[marshall stalin]

if Russia lost 80 to 0 all should be sent to Siberia - a disgrace

 

[milton]

didnt they get beaten by 100 last year, if so 20 points is a big improvement

 

[SalfordRedsWA]

They've stolen the Great Britain jersey! :shock:

 

[Jackal Dog]

They got 1500 to that match? from the photo's it looks like they struggled to get 50!

The person taking the photos was a fan in the main grandstand.
