England’s Men and Women rugby league sides have announced fixtures against France in Toulouse on Saturday June 29, as the French Rugby League (FFR XIII) celebrates 90 years of the game in the country.
England Women will face France at 2.30pm UK time at the Stade Ernest-Wallon, followed by England Men against France at 5pm UK time in the same stadium.
Both the men’s and women’s sides last played France in April 2023 in a Warrington double–header, with both curiously winning by the same 64-0 score-lines.
