Matt Frawley and Claire are moving to France for football after their wedding, returning to Australia next season to captain the Gungahlin Bulls.
The deal was done, the contract signed and Matt Frawley and his soon-to-be-wife Claire were going to experience life and football in France - but the government had other ideas.
The former Canberra Raider was meant to play for Albi in the French domestic competition last year after he finished up in the English Super League, but because they weren't married there were concerns a pregnant Claire wouldn't be covered by insurance.
So they returned to Australia, with Frawley captain-coaching the Gungahlin Bulls in the Canberra Raiders Cup instead.
Now a year on, the baby's been born, the wedding's just happened and they're off to the south of France for the next six months.
