France has been confirmed as the 7th entrant in the 2008 University Student Rugby League World Cup which is scheduled to take place in Brisbane on July 4 – 19.
It was feared that the French Universities, who finished third in the last tournament, and have been one of the most competitive and consistent sides since the concepts inception back in 1986, would not be able to afford to participate in the 2008 tournament.
Fortunately however the revival of the game in France has seen the funding become available, and in late December their participation was confirmed and ratified by the Rugby League International Federation.
France will now join tournament hosts, Australia, University champions, New Zealand, plus England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland in the eight nation tournament. |
