France but rarely has rugby league featured more prominently in the pre-match Twickenham conversation. Jason Ryles, the latest
Australian on Eddie Jones’s coaching staff, believes the rival codes have an increasing amount in common, while the fly-half George Ford thinks several team-mates, particularly Tom Curry, could be major players in league.
Ryles is better placed than most to draw parallels having helped guide Melbourne Storm to NRL Grand Final success this autumn before decamping to the northern hemisphere.
