Here's a big test of our credentials.

Squad, with no Pearce or Samkins:

Mourgue, Davies, Keighran, Laguerre, McMeeken, McIlorum, Bousquet, Whitley, Séguier, Garcia, Da Costa, Goudemand, Navarrete, Rougé, Tiaki Chan, Romano, Taukeiaho, Dezaria, Johnstone, Tison, Zenon.

Wire:

Ashton, Currie, Drinkwater, Dudson, Dufty, Green, Kasiano, Mata'utia, McGuire, Minikin, Nicholson, Philbin, Ratchford, Reddecliff, Russell, Thewlis, Thomas, Vaughan, Walker, Whitehead, Williams.

Currie, Drinkwater. Good advice.

Well played Catalans, could have gone either way.
