The games will be held at the Stade Ernest-Wallon, with the women’s test commencing at 3:30 pm and the men’s test kicking off at 6 pm, followed by a Championship clash between Toulouse Olympique and Featherstone Rovers at 9 pm.
Both test matches will be streamed live from Toulouse on Super League+, the direct-to-consumer streaming platform for rugby league enthusiasts. This presents an excellent opportunity for fans to witness the action unfold from the comfort of their homes.
In a further boost for the sport, France’s Under-19s will travel to England three days later on Tuesday, July 2, taking on the England Academy side at Warrington’s Halliwell Jones Stadium in a 7:30 pm kick-off.
With the international fixtures now officially confirmed by the Rugby Football League, Love Rugby League has identified five potential debutants for England boss Shaun Wane’s side. The England head coach handed out 13 debuts in last year’s 64-0 win over France, as the French national team celebrates 90 years of the sport in the republic.
The potential England debutants include the impressive Wigan Warriors hooker Brad O’Neill, the dynamic Hull KR captain Elliot Minchella, the prolific Warrington Wolves winger Josh Thewlis, the hard-hitting St Helens prop George Delaney, and the experienced Wigan Warriors flyer Liam Marshall.
“As the rugby league community eagerly awaits the upcoming fixtures, these emerging talents will be eager to seize their opportunity and make a lasting impression on the international stage.”
