Disappointing England Beat France After Great Start
Once the gnashing of teeth over the postponement of the 2021 World Cup died down, little time was wasted in organising a one-off match between France and England in Perpignan, a double header with a women's international between the same two sides.

French rugby league is certainly on the up and up following the brilliant seasons from the Catalans Dragons and Toulouse Olympique XIII, and hopes were high locally that they might spring a surprise on the favourites as Wane blooded several new caps.

Game over after 20 minutes. Decent hustle thereafter, but the damage had been done. Playing desperation stuff 10 minutes in though ... bordering on suicidal*
