France's final squad for the Gillette Four Nations series

Thursday 8th October 2009


Catalans Dragons provide 16 of the 23 players in France's final squad for the Gillette Four Nations series.
The Super League contingent include new captain Olivier Elima and Australian-born duo Clint Greenshields and Casey McGuire, who qualify through the three-year residency rule.
A third Australian hoping to represent France, Adam Mogg, has withdrawn because his partner is expecting a baby.
The non-Catalans players are Mathieu Griffi and Constant Villegas from Championship club Toulouse, the Carcassonne trio of Romain Gagliazzo, Christophe Moly and Teddy Saddaoui, Pia scrum-half Maxime Greseque and UTC winger Frederic Vaccari.
Halifax prop Said Tamghart and former Harlequins hooker Julien Rinaldi are among the players cut from the original 30-strong squad.
Former Wales coach Stuart Wilkinson, who has held assistant coaching roles at Leeds, Wigan and Widnes, has been appointed to Bobbie Goulding's backroom staff.
France kick off the tournament against England at Doncaster on Friday, October 23, before hosting New Zealand in Toulouse and Australia in Paris.
Full squad (Catalans unless stated): Jean-Philippe Baile, Kane Bentley, Thomas Bosc, Remi Casty, Vincent Duport, Olivier Elima (capt), Jamal Fakir, David Ferriol, Mathieu Griffi (Toulouse), Romain Gagliazzo (Carcassonne), Cyril Gossard, Clint Greenshields, Maxime Greseque (Pia), Casey McGuire, Sebastien Martins, Christophe Moly (Carcassonne), Dimitri Pelo, Sebastien Raguin, Teddy Saddaoui (Carcassonne), Cyril Stacul, Julien Touxagas, Frederic Vaccari (UTC), Constant Villegas (Toulouse).

i agree he is a good fullback. dont see why he isnt still in the nrl, he isnt very old.
