Mark Chapman presents live coverage of the match between France and Wales in the opening game of rugby league's triangular autumn international series. The tournament, which also features England, will provide invaluable preparation for 2013's World Cup, which will be staged in Britain.

France and Wales met in a test match this summer, when the French triumphed 28-16 in Wrexham. Rugby league is a sport on the rise in France, thanks partly to the success of Catalan Dragons.

The Perpignan-based club joined England's Super League in 2006, and recorded an impressive fourth-place finish this season. Show less
