Not true. Here is the likely French squad 2018:


FB: Morgan Escare (Wigan)

WG: Fouad Yaha (Catalans), Paul Marcon (Toulouse) Anthony Maurel (Toulouse)

CE: Anthony Gigot (Catalans), Bastien Ader (Toulouse), Gavin Marguerite (Toulouse)

FE: Theodore Fages (St Helens), Lucas Albert (Catalans)

HB: William Barthau (Toulouse), Stanislaus Robin (Toulouse)

LF: Jason Baitieri (Catalans), Thibauld Margalet (Catalans)

SR: Benjamin Garcia (Catalans), Benjamin Jullien (Catalans), Vincent Duport (Catalans)

PR: Remi Casty (Catalans), Julien Bousquet (Catalans), Mickael Simon (Catalans), Antoni Maria (Catalans), Bastien Canet (Toulouse)

HK: Eloi Pelissier (Lezignan), Alrix da Costa (Catalans)


Note that it is mostly Catalans forwards but mostly Toulouse backs. It would beat Scotland and Ireland, and perhaps run within 24 points of England

England Knights maybe.

No sign of Kheirallah who is quicker than Maurel and Marcon as winger or fb after Escaré and Anthony Marion to replace Pelissier who is done for.

Anthony Gigot can cover full back if Morgan Escare is injured.

Which winger would you have Mark Kheirallah replace: Maurel or Marcon?

Maurel.

I would shoe horn Kheirallah into the squad, he's a quality player.

What’s happened to Kuni Minga?
He was going to play for France in the World Cup, until he picked up an injury.

Wow.....just WOW
Scotland have no clubs, Ireland AFAIK has 10 amateur clubs.......France started the RLWC in 1954........go figure that France would beat those two. As for getting within 24 points of England.....not a chance

Playing at St Gaudens and not pulling up any trees, he was dropped a few weeks back.

Plus he's not French. What's the point of having French teams in SL in france then start picking overseas players for their international team?
