      Good on him, hope they bring back the French scissors move
      Robinson committed to rebuilding France as international force

      link text

      Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson’s deep connection with France compelled him to accept the role of FFRXIII director of rugby.

      Robinson, who began his coaching career at Toulouse and had charge of Catalans before leading the Roosters to the 2013 premiership in his first season with the club, will re-unite with newly appointed France coach Laurent Frayssinous ahead of this year’s World Cup.

        Who cares! French footy might improve if Robinson can get Cummins to ref their games. They seem to have an ‘understanding.’

          With the terrible treatment that Rugby League copped in France, I would love to see the game rebuilt over there.

              Wasn’t rugby league declared illegal? The history of RL in France is interesting and horrible.

                Yes, and the Rugby Union were permitted to confiscate all the League facilities and equipment.

                  Declared illegal and had all their assets seized and and given to Rugby.

                    I think that was the case.
                    Rugba League is not a crime. They should revolt.

                    Robinson can show them the light and the way forward (not passes).

                        They also got any money Rugby League had at the time. It is a really interesting to read about the history of Rugby League in France, as you have obviously done. I think the biggest disadvantages were Rugby League being banned in schools until 1991 and not being able to be called Rugby.

                            It happened 1940 when Germany invaded France, The Vichy government in southern France outlawed the game as having ties to England and being a corrupter of the youth. The Vichy government was pro Nazi. There is a lot more politics involved in the decision and is well worth reading up on if you are interested.

                              Maybe they should have called it Rugba League in France considering they were banned from using the name Rugby.

                                Ah ok thanks.

                                French League was relatively strong in the 80’s, they would be competitive in Kangaroo tour games and I remember reasonable games when they toured here in late 80’s and it seems to have fallen of the planet since the early 90’s.
