| France win - What's the point in them playing Ireland their light years ahead.
Ireland win - Catalans are a disgrace.
Win win for rlfans.
Well done Ireland and Scotland for this weekends results. The only disappointing thing for me is the number of quality players making themselves unavailable for this comp but more than happy to play in a World Cup.
It looks as though there will a new entrant to the four nations in 2016 as this years winner qualifies. (Is there no European cup planned for 2015? That is also disappointing if it is the case)

| they can still qualify though for the next 4 nations, the big one will be Scotland v France, they will prob bring in a few players that were missing for the Ireland defeat.

| I know it has probably been said a million times on this forum already, but the only way to really make the french international team competitive, is if someone pumps a massive amount of money into the french league to make it a full time professional competition. Whilst I like the Catalans and do think they have a number of good homegrown players, 1 professional team is not a big enough player pool to sustain an international side who can compete at the highest level and they should be competing in France against other full time professional sides.
They could even then have some sort of Heineken Cup style competition every year.

NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

| Disagree, nz are competitive without a national pro league. Reality is, like nz, you need around 80-100 players playing in NRL or SL. Getting more French players in the Dragons squad plus bringing in another French club to SL plus more SL and NRL clubs scouting the best 16-20 year old French jnrs will eventually make them competitive. Having 12-15 French players in NRL or so regularly playing is t going to make much difference to the French INternational performances.
