The Roosters became the first Italian rugby league club to play in a foreign competition when they joined the PACA division of the National Division 2, France's fourth-tier rugby league competition, for the 2016/17 season.[4] Coached by Elio Giacoma, the team sported Gioele Celerino and Mirco Bergamasco in their final match,[5][6] which was their only win of the competition.[7]
