I see Ilias Bergal played for France against Australia, in the World Cup today - I believe that it was his debut?

He played last week against Lebanon.

Results apart, did anyone see how he shaped?

Bloody awful.

One, Atomic, is surely a step forward. How many N American players will TW be fielding in the Champ next year? The NRL (as according to the report it is Oz money that is funding the development programmes in Lebanon) seemed to have the right ideas regarding outreach and the spread of the game. A real good news story uniting Muslims & Christians (within teams and on the terraces) in a normally sectarian state.

Tragedy about the political news from that country that broke today just as many were uniting behind the Cedar flag due to the Rugby World Cup.

A little unfair comparing TW with a international squad! Canada do have their own National squad filled with Canadians not NRL stars,probably the reason they didn't qualify. If it's the Aussies way of expanding the game good on them.
