Maybe that's the best way. Treat it like a long coach trip. Players lounging around hotels for a couple of days often seemed to be a recipe for lethargy. A few trips to London confirmed that.

Wish I was there!

I don't know why, looks awful there 30 degrees in that terrible pub in Perpignan... I'd rather be sat at home..

Catalans academy 36 Wakefield academy 0 HT! Heat a big problem...

Maybe in the colder part of the season. But this time of year I think it would be better to a have a day or two aclimatising to the heat.

Strong bench, hope it pays off

Good start 6-0 (Jowett) after 12 mins

Simon off with an injury after 3 mins.

Is there any radio broadcast or a live stream?

Soak up tons of pressure (from Penalties), get the ball back on the halfway line eventually, knock on on the first tackle, then concede a soft try. Though I wouldn't fancy tackling Taylor to be honest.

12-6 down.

Need to stop giving penalties away or we are going to get whacked.

18-6 down try conceded on the back of yet another penalty.

Shooting ourselves in the foot again with mistakes and penalties after a good start
