What expectations does everyone have for these upcoming tournaments ?

I think France might struggle again but England do better than I dare hope...

If there's anyone on here going to the international this week or for the rest of the tournament and fancies a crack at doing a match report for sang-et-or.net, let me know. No experience necessary, just a willingness to have a go. English or French - not bothered.


I had a feeling France will struggle, but I'm not inspired by any other squad in the competition. So by default, we might be OK. 4 Nations - go on the PNG!

I might make one of the France games John. Also, England? that squad couldn't win a superleague match, let alone a 4 nations match! its a sad slant on our game that players like Cudjoe and Griffin are in, but shouldn't be making the England squad. To tour with only one recognised scrum half is a joke, that the only scrum half is Robinson is a bigger joke. All that is before we even get to Michael Shenton, to quote a certain columnist from the site, "he isn't good enough to play reserve grade back home, let alone play international footy!"

Good man.

Monsieur Bobbie's named a 20-man squad for the Ireland game. Only four with no Super League experience and one of those is Jason Baitieri:
Elima, Casty, Fakir, Kane Bentley, Baile, Baitieri, Touxagas, Maria, Duport, Tisseyre, Vaccari, Stacul, Sadaoui, Andrew Bentley, Simon, Munoz, Griffi, Martins, Grésèque, Gigot.
Preview tomorrow. Maybe.

Direct 8 showing all French home games.

I think France could do ok, its about time they stepped up. Its a more than experinced enough pack to worry Ireland.

As for England, who knows, i always feel a large amount of blind faith around this time so im on a wave of that at the mo.

Yeah, about that.....


Elima gets four in a big win, 58-24.

Attendance : 14'125 spectators

What a good news !!

It was a very young looking Ireland team but that result is a good one to start with, and a superb crowd.

Pretty young looking French side for that matter.
Missed it on Direct 8, anyone know if it's getting a second showing?

Yeah, it was a young looking backline, probably more experince that their irish counterparts. More than enough experience upfront. Bench had to have made a difference too. A good blend by Le Bobbie, hopefully more to come.

Bloody Elima coming back to form now he has left.

He didn't look like a four try player for us this season.
