England: Hardaker; Burgess, Bateman, Watkins, Hall; Williams, Widdop; Hill, Hodgson, Graham, Farrell, Whitehead, O'Loughlin.
Substitute: Roby, Cooper, Burgess, Ferres.
France: Escare; Sigismeau, Baile, Jullien, Arnaud; Robin, Marginet; Bousquet, Boudebza, Maria, Larroyer, Perez, Simon.
Substitute: Kriouache, Springer, Boyer, Goudemand.
Looks like England's 1st team vs France's 3rd team to me.

is there a desire for rugby league in paris?
what about other big cities like mille. does rugby league get played @ junior level?

| What a silly question, IN obviously.
Catalans have grown and blossomed ever since they joined a decade a go and now look capable of making semis and finals, one of the real success stories of the chequered SL era imo.

Avignon, a small city, currently has a semi-pro team in Elite 1. It has produced several past and present Catalans professional players e.g. Younes Khattabi (in the 2007 Challenge Cup Final he was the first Muslim to score a try at Wembley), Anthony Gigot, and Benjamin Garcia.
There have been several amateur teams in the greater Paris region. There are now five playing in a competition in the region (Ile de France) city with a recent rugby league tradition is Lyon, which was once in Elite 1 and then dropped to Elite 2.

| I am really pleased to see French RL reawaken with such ambition. My worry is that it may be at the expense of one or two successful clubs demoted from a crowded Superleague leaving a vacuum of away fans and traditional rivalries - could be quite a loss of revenue and atmosphere. More worrying is that one of the attractions to play in Superleague are the guaranteed revenues provided by Sky - one wonders what their reaction would be to four clubs coming in who legally cannot supply any Sky subscribers, as they move to online they are able to monitor viewing figures accurately and it could result in Sky reducing the support to RL as they see the demand for their nowtv product for Toulose v Lyon add up to not much for example.

| Only in RL would the potential loss of 3-400 away fans and "traditional rivalries" be considered a relevant argument for anything.

| I am hoping that the new generation of French players for Dragons will get a game and save us future spend on imports.
There are a number of French players elsewhere in the league who we have had on our books so we are also growing French players generally.
Be patient with us!

'There's only one code of rugby.': |

| Is this some kind of joke survey? I'm assuming the same people that want Catalans to fail are the same ones who weren't fans of London Broncos?
I'm more interested in which two teams would merge or drop down to allow for a 10 team superLeague ![THINK eusa_think.gif](images/smilies//eusa_think.gif)

| I was wondering the other day, do Catalans do some sort of 'away' season ticket for UK based fans? That way you could see all your home games on Sky and all the away games at a slightly better price.

That is a very smart idea. You should write to Bernard Guasch, the Catalans Chairman. PM me and I will send you his address.

We are working to get a closer link with the club, be officially recognised and get some sort of set up for fans.
In the meantime have a look at our website which is in assoc. with RLFANS freeteams.net/englishdragons.
Your suggestion will be passed on to our rep at the club.

I'm sure that if he fancies writing to Bernie G he'd be quite capable of googling the address himself to save you the bother of doing so

You cannot google an email address.
Try harder next time.
