Pulled out from the Championship as expected. Confirmed from yeterdays meeting in Toulouse attended by Nigel Wood, Ralph Rimmer, Nicolas Larrat the President of the French Federation and club President Carlos Zalduendo.

The positives from a French perspective are that TO will still compete in the Challenge Cup, the Northern Rail Cup and the proposed European club competition. Another plus it appears at last the RFL have agreed that for the CC that there will be an open draw from the start permitting French sides the chance of playing at home. The Federation have also agreed to support TO as their SL nomination for 2015.
