| This is only a problem for France, for the other clubs you just need to rotate your players and give your academy players a go, not just hold them for an injury crisis.
We just need this round's catalan match played before the start of the season, same weekend as the re-arranged fixture for Leeds' WCC. That frees the Catalan p0layers to not have to double up and case closed. Obviously it would be better if the season had a gap for this game but ...

| you need to stick with this game against france hold it in france next year give france a warm up game against ireland/scotland or wales or a pacific island side. the french players need to be pumped up about the match and believing they can do it sports pschyology is an amazing thing.
look at the kiwi's under brian mclennan won the tri series after being the easy beats the year before. then mclennan leaves and some genius gets gary kemble to coach and theirs a large number of injuries and poor mamagement and kiwi's got thrashed by kangaroo's 56-0 in 2007 and lost series to england and only just scraped home against france. then 2008 kearney and bennet take over new management team and they bounce back to win the world cup final against the kangaroo's.
france needs depth(this will take time), sports psychology, probly a better coach no offence to goulding but at this stage the guys just learning his trade as a coach. play with a lot more pride an passion, luck when it comes to injuries, a warm up game to get combinations right and a home test! do those things and im positive they can bounce back in the next year or two

Fair enough. A game for England against some select side would do nowt for me, but they can do what they like so long as proper internationals aren't dropped for it.

| England need France to be strong and for that reason alone every attempt should be made to have stand alone tests every year for a genuine trophy, one that captures the true spirit of the game in England and France.
As soon as France are pushing England and beating them then maybe the English will have a chance against the Aussies.
I know this much, France will beat England before the English win a series against Australia again.
