To be fair France rested a few, but an 80 point loss is shocking.

It baffles me why we continue to play this game in England. England as it stands are going to comfortably beat France no matter where the game is played, but commit to taking this fixture to France for five years. It shows support for the game locally and the home advantage could well produce a more competitive outcome. There's already an international game this Autumn in Wigan as well. Really don't see any positive to the setup today at all.

Hull, Wakefield, Warrington and now France....Mr Agar certainly knows how to make an impact.

France are pathetic and so is Jean Capdouze.

Only a complete knucklehead would even pose the question.

Funny though.

Nothing like a 'friendly' racist comment to show just how much of a family game Rugby League is

Get over yourself. You missed the "small Northern" vitriol post FROM MR JEAN CAPDOUZE. I wonder IF HE SHOUTS WHEN HE TYPES....

You do know Jean is as a french as a pork pie don't you?

Just googled the English to French translation. The French for Pork Pie is.....Pork Pie.

Given the ' Rosbeef ' reference to us, its just referencing our culinary delights

Although today a team of snails would have performed better

England had two tries chalked off and missed 3 conversions so could have cracked the ton. I expected the French to show a little more pride in the shirt. No fight in them whatsoever, both literally and figuratively.

A full-strength France side would give England a game. The team today might as well have been France A. They were missing Fages, Garcia, Gigot, Baitieri, Duport, Bosc, Pelissier, Casty, Elima, Mounis, Pala, Yaha and several other fringe players that would've probably featured ahead of those that played. I don't know why these players didn't play but you really have to ask questions of the coach and the national set-up as I'm sure they weren't all injured.

When I saw the lineup I feared the worst for the French. Not surprised they got tonked - anyone know why so many were missing?

They surrendered. So typically French.

They've got a European championship to win

I imagine that is the reason they left so many out but seen as it is a pointless tournament which a team has no incentive to win then you'd think they could prove how good they are by giving England a game. This years European cup isn't gonna qualify anyone for the four nations seen as the next 4th team will be an Oceanic team so I would presume that the 2018 euros will be the next important one.

Catalans have been in SL for several years yet French RL has gone backwards.

Next year the Dragons will have Myler and Carney in the halves / Tonga Pomeroy Inu Richards and Broughton in the backs / Aiton at 9 and forwards such as Stewart, Horo, Taylor & Anderson..

SL have let them get away with this for years. All aparently signed under the salary cap !

What a joke.

Maybe Huddersfield should consider signing some of the quality French players that can't get a game.

Why?

French RL appointed Agar...enough said

Are there even any highlights yet?

It's like the game happened in another dimension or something.

Better still. Catalans can develop some french players rather than sign a dozen overseas players who make up around 2/3 of their best 17.

To their credit the Giants wil have just 3 overseas players next year.

120 miles round trip for that rubbish! Won't be happening again to watch the French they were completely uninterested and those that played seemed unfit...

England will have to play Exiles next time in my opinion...very disappointing. Most French Super League players weren't playing

It did...Leigh. The dimension where rugby league reality kicks in about August time.

To help the French RL team improve of course. Keep up.
