France will play Western Rams in Parkes, mid-week October - Before 9's.

Embarrassment avoided...

I just saw elsewhere that France lost.

Edit: They won, the graphic at the end of the game stream had the score the other way around but it was wrong.

Rams missed a goal on the bell to draw the game after they were leading with 10 to go

Problem is that this is France's standard today in RL. Slightly above the Euro mainland nations

Lol France

 

[siv]

It's even worse as France just hung on to beat 10 man team

For what, the last 2 minutes? France had 11 at that time too.

It's nearly one of the biggest embarrassments of French RL history as is, let's not exaggerate too much.

Yeah I didn't think the Elite One was much better than Group 10 or 11

Don't see what the fuss is here. Do you think people made fun of the All Blacks when they drew with Munster back in the day?

Consider this as a boon for the Western Rams and country rugby league. This would have been a hoot for them, and the french as well.

Turn those frowns upside downs.

Well at least they didn't lose.

Fair call.

I think if the damage hadn't already been done with the rest of this strange tour there would be a different attitude.

The fuss for me is that France continually get worse. We don't see them start scrappy, then you can see the improvement as the tour or tournament progresses.

Does not help they never get a consistent squad together, to build on year after year. Hard to blame the coach on what players he gets to work with year after year , but maybe that's the problem contributing to this also?
