So now england are not playing them and playing the exiles..

what are france doing??? are they playing wales at the same time as england play the exiles... have the rfl just abandoned them??

seems like it

seems no one knows!?

shame because we need to keep developing france not just give up on them

France vs the Knights in the south of France seems the sensible option to me.

thats a good idea.... dont know if there is any confirmation of this anywhere though

Disagree. The Knights are merely the players not good enough for England. It would be better if the full England team travelled to France to play rather than continually playing the game in England. I'd like to think France would be more competitive on home soil and it would help the English players bond in a tour type of situation. France losing to a reserve team would send their credibility through the floor, especially in France.

But if the English team is playing the Exiles then that can't happen

Are you usually this quick richie?

Maybe not on that weekend as it will be hard for Catalan, It would have to be a weekend where Catalan could postpone a game

They could play anyone in all honesty (at home)

Ireland would be good I feel, or organise it right they could get the USA team over

France-Wales

France have a score to settle with Wales and Wales have to prove that they deserve to be in the 4N's. It'd be an absolute belter of a match. Keep them two battling it out against each other regularly and nurturing their rivalry and they'll soon get to the standard we expect and be mixing it with England and the Exiles.

Yep agree. This is a must and should become a regular for the 2 sides. Alternate between France and Wales or better still get 2 test matches in a series

still not heard any plans for a game for france

Haha, if not quicker!

It took you eight days to respond to me.

It's as if I've been on holiday

personally i think england should play france in france every year a mounth before they take on the exiles. this then would provide england with another test and a good warm up game before the exiles and also keeps the french taking on a top nation in england. the same weekend as england take on the exiles france should take on wales

It does seem a shame to abandon regular fixtures for France.

The Sun reporting England will play France in Avignon on Oct 21st as a Four Nations warm-up.

Good.
