Elite 1 Championships Grand Final 2008 - Rugby League

So I went to Beziers in Southern France to see the French Elite 1 Grand Final between Lezignan and PIA. This has got to be close to one of the best days out at the rugby league I have had. Only about 10,000 people were there but as you will here from the crowd the atmosphere was fantastic. This video is the try and goal highlights. Enjoy!

Great stuff Druz. Wynne still kicking on there I see. Does the FFRL get any sort of TV coverage, even domestic TV?

[druzik01]

I think so, on the FFRXIII website there are highlights packages of every match from the rounds so I assume its comming from TV sources. The Final was shown live on Canal+ as fas as I am aware.
