No Mogg but I never felt he would play I guess.

His missus is due to give birth, so he's giving it a miss to be there for that. Which I suppose is fair enough.

One or two surprises I guess for me, mainly Eric Anselme as Mounis was left out of the original selection, unless he will do what we seem to have done a bit this year and name a big lad at 13?

Strange what has happened to Mounis, I guess he's out of luck when Catalans can name Mogg at 3/4 and Bird at LF. I am very suprised that Mounis isn't in the squad though, he's a backup kicking option and has good leadership skills on the park. Would have thought Rinald, ex-captian, might have been involved too - even if it was as a semi coach position.

Yeah, I thought I read that somewhere mate, fair enough like.

All the 4 Nations promo material came out with Jerome as the face of the French. Since his flounce, they've now photoshopped Thomas Bosc's face onto it and they've done it really badly. May as well not have bothered. It looks amateurish.

Casey's pulled out. Maybe to be replaced by Rinaldi

Rinaldi declines due to Villeneuve commitments. James Wynne to be included

Shame about Rinaldi not being available, a bit of Guisset strop there.

Surely there must be a better alternative than Wynne? No disrespect, but blooding a young hooker would be better than flogging a dead horse (okay, how was that not disrespect?).
