Here are the details from the RLEF site:
Interesting how there'll be a combined Welsh and Czech side. I assume there'll only be a few Czech players thoough, with most of the team being Welsh. It's still a good idea, coz some Czech players will get some benefit out of this tournament, while still being competitive (hopefully).

Meanwhile; in Montpellier, a crowd of over 1,200 saw a young France B beat the Maroc Lions 18-8 after the sides had been level 6-all at the break. Morroccan second rower Ilyass Lamarti was voted man of the match but he was unable to prevent a late French victory onslaught fashioned by the breaks of excellent loose forward Yvan Fontes.
