My France team 2017

[The Daddy3]

Because Toulouse are doing outstandingly well in The Championship with some great individual performers I've had a rethink about my first 17 France team. Several TO players deserve a shot and will be playing in a pro competition by the end of the season due to being in the middle eights. Bodes really well for the national team with these TO players adding more depth.

I'm concerned about the French. Currently there are only 7-8 Frenchman playing week in week out in the Catalans team and a few more scattered around the other teams.

We will get a better idea of the standard of the Toulouse players once the super 8's start and they are playing against super league teams.
In your team above, I'm not sure if minga is french, I'd probably have Duport in the backline. It's good to see Escare back in form as well.
