FORMER Warrington Wolves man Benjamin Jullien is in line for a return to his old stomping ground during the upcoming Rugby League World Cup.
The second rower, who spent two seasons with The Wire before joining his current club Catalans Dragons, has been named in the France squad for the tournament, which gets underway next month.
It means he could feature when Laurent Frayssinous’s side visit The Halliwell Jones Stadium to wrap up their Group A campaign against Samoa on Sunday, October 30.
Before then, France face Greece in Doncaster on October 17 and hosts England in Bolton on Saturday, October 22.
Jullien played for Warrington in the 2016 and 2017 seasons, scoring six tries in 35 appearances.
