I’ve been a long time outsider looking in, so I’m more than aware of who too look out for on here! Appreciate the heads up though!

What are France's plans for RL, you have to admit that if you want to saturate SL with superstar laden French teams it isnt really saying much for your adopted country in terms of expanding the sport there.

Rugby Union has no issues with multinational competitions only fickle RL types with head in sand syndrome.
