A good read.
The petty parochialism is very off-putting. And I guess as - for want of a better phrase - an outsider, you probably notice it more than maybe I do. Or certainly see it in a broader context than "oh it's always been like that".
I guess we do have to consider what the end-game here is. Is it for a proper full-time comp in France? What this does is open pathways up for young players. We can have one team playing in France every week and over time increase the visibility of the game. But I feel the nature of French RL - largely small clubs in tiny villages - doesn't necessarily lend itself to a full-time comp.
