Solid first up crowd for the game considering everything was done on the cheap. I hope the concept isn't a one off & they let it build.

This being RL there’s a high probability of it being a one off .

So the Moroccan Rugby Union and Govt are ok with this?
A welcome change in environment if so.

With the match being held in Avignon, there isn't much either of those parties can do in protest. That said, I know at least South Lions and Nador Arekmane played some games early last year (March), so the sport can't be completely blocked at home.

France should try and help establish an Algerian team, just to try and build more content for the national team at home.

Considering the Celtic nations (their most natural opponent) are broke, England only wants to play maybe once a year & everyone else on the mainland is amateur and unable to compete with even an Elite level France, having Algeria & Morocco teams using Elite 1 & 2 players would give them some regular at home content.
