Englands Youngsters Beat France With Ease Despite Early Scare The mid-season international game saw a youthful England side travel to Toulouse without the coach Shaun Wane, who underwent emergency surgery earlier in the week, to take on a France side which comprised many of the Catalans Dragons first team.
France were expected to put on a strong showing but England were strong favourites with the bookies and were handicapped by twenty-two points on the coupon by the bookies despite being internationally rated eighth in the world against an England in third.
This was the fifty-third game between the nations with England having won forty-three of those, the last being a 64-0 victory, the same as the women's winning score, when the two sides met last year in Warrington, but this was likely to be much closer.
