[Dr Crane]

Phew!

Well played France!

 

[Bullseye]

Dang. A win for France would have been great for the game over there.

 

[carlnz]

Outstanding France well done!!!!!!!

 

[AuckMel]

What a staggering result.

 

[In-goal]

can't believe it

viva la france

 

[dimitri]

great result france

if they play that well against australia

and their super league team is a success

they should be added to the tri-nations tournament


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

that would add a big boost to the tournament

 

[In-goal]

i think a full time french outfit will go along way to restoring there place amongst the heavy weights of the RL world, hopefully they can prosper over the next 4-8 years with a solid proffesional base.

 

[dimitri]

yep

i hope so

a solid professional base, then added to tri-nations, then a great showing at the 2008 rugby leauge world cup

 

[Robster]

RUGBY LEAGUE WORLD IS ALIVE AND TURNING!

i agree


once they have their professional side, and they start playing a decent number of tests, especially against GB, they once again will become a force.


Go the chanticeleers

Well done France. Can remember Tonga almost beating us some years back, so hope its not just one out of the bag.
Maybe we'll all be watching a quad-series in 10 yrs time.

 

[dimitri]

another poster also posed the question about lebanon


if lebanon can continue to filter professionals especially through the canterbury club, and also develop their local league, who is to say that they wont be right up there with aus, nz, gb and france, in the future


a 5 nations would be awesome

 

[coldhardbitch]

well done france.

Hopefully they can trouble the ozzies too. the future is bright in france.

good crowd for Carcassonne too. bordeaux crowd for aus test should be bigger.

i think the 4-nations tournament would be great, with 2 from the north and 2 from the south in the tournamaent.

 

[dimitri]

i agree

hope the match against australia is a success also

why not make it a 5 nations and add in a team from the middle east

 

[Jono078]

Just a question, I remember reading somewhere that it would be a different New Zealand squad to what is in the Tri Nation Series. Could any one plz post NZ's Lineup ?
