No they'll play France away then as well.

This is a mid season test that is now contracted to be broadcast by the BBC. So it could be an afternoon kick off or a 5:30 if they do what they did in the 4th Round of the Cup last year.

The 4N is contracted to Sky.

Thanks to Bilko for the translation.

To our French colleagues – what do you think this means for French RL, if anything?

Hmm. Shame we're not playing Ireland away really. If I can get a cheap flight I might go but if not I won't bother, certainly won't stay more than one night, Paris is the most expensive place i've ever been to

I've got a sneaky suspicion that ours will be and it'll have nothing to do with our players
