Momentous announcement for the sport if true.

Great news.

Really missing international football matches. And while it sometimes crowds the season schedule I think the players would be missing it as well.

I can read the sign in front of him, but understanding spoken French is a bit hard. The sign says it anyway.

This is huge for the sport as it represents the French Government giving its support to our game, whereas Union has always been favoured in the past.

 

[Mr_Ugly]

You can guarantee union will try to arse rape this World Cup. Our game is tough … especially when posh privately educated union toffs try to stick it to us! But we haven’t had a victory in France for 70 years and don’t hold the whip hand there

Jean Castex has his roots in the south-west, played some rugby around Toulouse when younger and speaks Catalan. I don't doubt he'd be fairly aware of rugby league and its history and its potential.

Yes but he’s no longer PM …
