Winner - Widnes
Vikings Rugby League Club
Toulouse’s inauguration
game in the Super League, played at Widnes inspired the original
idea for the club to link up with Wade Deacon High School to teach
some of the players some rugby themed vocabulary in French. All KS3
and 4 French students were involved in the project with some even
being featured on Sky Sports giving a French lesson.
