Same as Ireland.

Yep, get at least another two French teams into SL & bring the league down to ten clubs.

Then we’ll have seven English clubs playing professionally that’s plenty to nurture an international side capable of beating the Antipodeans .

Based on their current development, the French may be able to provide a side capable of giving the English a game within the next twenty years .

France must eventually learn to stand on there own two feet eventually to become successful. The French league needs to move to summer and hopefully become full time. Putting more French teams in super league would only damage the game in this country IMO. Keep Catalans in Super League for the time being but ultimately the long term goal should be a full time French league. The interest is there and I believe if they are given guidance and a TV deal a 8 team Full time French league is not impossible.

Give France the 2021 world cup and we could just crack rugby league in France.

This is a very good idea.

I seem to recall F.I.F.A giving the World Cup to the U.S in 1994 on condition they set up a professional league. Since then the league has grown and now every corner of the country have a team (+ 1 in Canada)?.

Give them the 2021 World cup...Move their league to summer (no Football or Union to battle) and support and encourage them in achieving this.
