French coach Goulding selects 14 Dragons
Bobbie Goulding has included Julien Rinaldi in his initial France squad to take on England in Paris in June.
Goulding has named a 32-man party for the clash in Paris on June 13 with Rinaldi the only player not from a France-based club.
The former Catalans Dragons half-back or hooker was playing reserve-grade football in Australia after being cut by Harlequins at the end of last season, but last week joined the Bulls on a two-month contract.
In total Goulding has selected 14 players from the Dragons, as well as youngsters David Guasch and William Barthau from the Super League's feeder team UTC, and also four from Toulouse who now compete in the Co-operative Championship.
Pia scrum-half Maxime Greseque was the shock omission from the party.
Squad: Guisset, Bosc, Mounis, Casty, K Bentley, Fakir, Ferriol, Vaccari, Stacul, Gossard, Elima, Baile, Duport, Pelo, (all Catalans), Griffi, Anselme, Planas, Villagas (Toulouse), Martins, Calegari (Pia), Teixido, Murcia, Mayans (Limoux), Tisseyre, Fellous (Lezignan), Gagliazzo, Sadaoui, Moly (Carcassonne), Gigot (Avignon), Guasch, Barthau (UTC), Rinaldi (Bradford)
