France have today announced a 20-player squad to face England Men in this Saturday’s Mid-Season International at Warrington’s Halliwell Jones Stadium.
France Head Coach, Laurent Frayssinous, said: "It is a young and quality group that will face England on Saturday in Warrington.
“I am very excited to work with the players who for some participated in the last World Cup and the others who will experience our environment for the first time. They will be able to fit into the mold of what we have put in place in recent years.
“The unavailability of some senior players will give younger players the opportunity to represent their country and I am looking forward and very excited to work with them on a daily basis for this match on Saturday.
“The objective of this test match is to continue to earn the respect of England but also to start building for the big events that await us such as the European Cup at the end of the year and of course the 2025 World Cup."
