Jake Spedding, Ricky Bailey, Aaron Smith and Morgan Knowles in the England squad to play France. Good to see that we've got a mixture of positions in there. Bailey at full back, Spedding a centre, Knowles a loose forward and Smith a hooker. Hopefully see these guys step up next year fully. www.superleague.co.uk/article/32 ... lay-france

A very encouraging spread of talent.

It is always good to see any good player come through but it is great the club can produce more than just second rowers.

It is a shame the RFL arranged this game to clash with the 5th round of the cup. I suspect some of these lads could have got games against lower league opposition this week (not just Saints)

That's not far off being the spine of a team.

I wouldn't get carried away; saints have produced many young players that have flattered to decive.

Every club has. It's not just us.

No one is getting carried away.

Every young lads success will be down to their attitude and their luck. However producing more quality players in important positions gives the club a better chance of finding the next stars of our team.

In the era of the salary cap our production line is one of the few things that separates us from the rest.

France won 35 - 34 with a last minute penalty.

Is there a match report posted anywhere or do you know how our lads got on?

Cunningham out!

I wonder if it was a French referee.
