Give us a rundown. Who were the 2 teams, crowd, local interest etc? Looks to be well patronised.

Is that the World Cup with the girls??

Pia versus Saint Esteve (Catalan). Local derby. Crowd ~6500, shown on free TV channel.

Yes, that is the world cup. It is doing some promotional work in France for the two games to be held here.

Some good pics in that thread as usual, cheers miguel.

Was looking the other night not long after you put the link in to watch the game, sadly it didn't work (again), thank's anyway.

Just watched the highlights over on the Catalan site and the standard of play looks quite good, can anyone comment if it is improving year after year?

There are quite a few ex-NRL and QCup players in the French comp these days so the standard should be lifting by having these players compete. But the standard of play in the juniors in France has increased to where they are now competing with the top nations.

I wouldn't be surprised if the French keep up with New Zealand in this match.

For about 50 to 60 minutes perhaps.

They have a chance if they can get 17 full-time players out. The drop-offs only come when there are part-timers involved.
