I'd rather have an away trip to be honest do I'm happy with that!

Right as I understand it, that format Griff put up is correct. They are one off games and the scores are added up on aggregate to see who wins (us or France). The winner of the Fev vs French champions game will select a champion of Europe, if you like, obviously discounting SL teams.

As soon as we know something for certain we could have a bit of a get together to discuss how to get there etc?

We'll need to know who we're playing first presumably, unless venues are chosen beforehand. The French season doesn't finish until March time I think?

As things currently stand, if we are away to the second place team then we're off to Avignon!!

1 Lezignan 16
2 Avignon 16
3 Carcassonne 10
4 Toulouse 10

Avignon would certainly be easier for hotels than Lezignan that's for sure. Not Toulouse again please, i've been there 4 times already.

ESO - Apparently the French season finishes on May 12, so I would assume this tournament would be the week after. Which works for me as I get back from my holiday on May 13

The impression I got was that it would be based on the 2010/2011 season as it was mentioned as the 'top three plus Toulouse'.

Makes sense, so did Toulouse hypothetically finish 4th then?

If asked, the RFL will no doubt say they finished top

(They've also been included in this year's Challenge Cup as an automatic qualifier if memory serves me right).

May 27th is the RFL proposal to the FFF.
