History

Thirties and forties

On New Year’s Eve 1933, England and Australia played in Paris – the first game of rugby league in France. The match was one sided, with Australia winning 63-13 in front of a crowd of 5,000, but the seed was sown. French rugby union players, disgruntled that France had been suspended from the Five Nations Championship, formed the 'Ligue Francaise de Rugby a XIII' on the 6th April 1934. Jean Galia, a former rugby union international and champion boxer, lead France on a six match tour of England in 1934 and they recorded their one win at Hull. The national team’s first game was in Paris on 15th April 1934, losing 21-32 to England in front of a crowd of 20,000. By 1939 the French league had 155 clubs and the national side beat England and Wales to take the European championship. The RBS 6 Nations Championship, (referred to as RBS 6 Nations for sponsorship reasons) known before 2000 as the Five Nations Championship, is an annual international rugby union competition held between six European sides: France, England, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. ...

The game of rugby league suffered in France during the Second World War, as the French rugby union authorities worked with the collaborating Vichy regime to have rugby league banned. Some players and officials of the sport were punished (not reinstated in the French rugby union), whilst some of the assets of the rugby league and its clubs were handed over to the union.

Post war

On 1951, Saturday 3rd November, France met "Other Nationalities" in an International Championship match at the Boulevard, Hull which became known as the "Battle of the Boulevard". Other Nationalities won 17-14 but the match centred on the behaviour of Edouard Ponsinet, who was involved in most of the violence. The Other Nationalities were down to eleven players at one stage, with Arthur Clues being the most serious casualty, hospitalised with head injuries. Eventually Ponsinet was sent off, ten minutes from time after breaking the nose of Jeff Burke. Despite this defeat France went on to retain the title with home victories over England and Wales.

In 1951 France embarked on their first ever tour of Australasia, led by the legendary chain-smoking fullback Puig Aubert. Their flamboyant style of unorthodox attacking rugby attracted huge crowds. When the two nations met for the first Test the previous month, the match became the first "all ticket" international to be staged at Sydney Cricket Ground, and attracted a crowd of over 60,000. On Saturday 30 June 1951, Australia secured a hard-fought Second Test victory over France in Brisbane by 23 points to 11. The third Test took place at Sydney Cricket Ground three weeks later. Late tries from Duncan Hall and Brian Davies could not prevent the Kangaroos from suffering an embarrassing 35-14 defeat. France played 28 matches during the three-month tour, winning 21 matches, drawing two and losing five. A typical rugby league team consists of thirteen players on the field plus four substitutes on the bench. ... Puig Aubert (born March 24, 1925 in Andernach, Germany – died June 3, 1994 in Carcassonne, France), was debatably the greatest French rugby league player of all-time[1] Over a sixteen year professional career he would play for Carcassonne, Les Catalans, Celtic de Paris and Castelnaudary winning five French championships...

France donated the original World Cup trophy, but they have never won it. The closest they went to getting their hands on it was in the very first World Cup in 1954, when they went down narrowly, 16-12, to Great Britain in the final in Parc des Princes, Paris. The Parc des Princes (translation: Princes Park) is a 48527 capacity stadium in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. ...

On Sunday 8th December 1963, France defeated the Aussies in first Test of a three Test series during the Kangaroo tour of Europe. The match was held in Bordeaux.

The French have appeared in one other World Cup final, in 1968, when they finished runner-up to Australia in Sydney, after beating both Great Britain and New Zealand to qualify.

In 1978 France beat the Kangaroos 13-10 and 11-10 which remained Australia's last failed attempt to win an international series or competition until 2005.

France travelled to Pretoria for a match against South Africa on Saturday 3rd November 2001. The French were too good for a young and inexperienced South African side.

In 2004 the French returned to form with a narrow 20-24 defeat of New Zealand and a losing but creditable performance against Australia. However, the game was played under modified rules and was not at the time considered an official test match. Shortly afterwards the game was retrospectively awarded test status.

In 2005, the French suffered a 44-12 defeat against Australia in Perpignan. Unlike their last match against Australia, this game was played under normal rules and is considered a regular test match. This was their best performance in an official test match against Australia since 1990.
