After his off-season move from the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs – wear he played 68 games – to the Tricolours, Morris, 32, and his team will head to the United Kingdom later this month, to take on the Wigan Warriors at DW Stadium on Sunday, February 17.
To prepare for the clash, the reigning NRL premiers, who have already spent a week in New Zealand during the pre-season, will spend a week in Paris where they will train against Robinson's former club Toulouse, before they visit the Anzac memorials in the Somme.
"I'm just looking forward to the boys experiencing it," Robinson said to Fairfax Media of the Roosters' planned build-up in a country so close to his heart.
Roosters World Club Challenge squad: Mitchell Aubusson, Nat Butcher, Lindsay Collins, Boyd Cordner, Angus Crichton, Cooper Cronk, Poasa Faamausili, Jake Friend, Ryan Hall, Matt Ikuvalu, Luke Keary, Asu Kepaoa, Lachlan Lam, Isaac Liu, Joseph Manu, Brett Morris, Victor Radley, Siosiua Taukeiaho, James Tedesco, Zane Tetevano, Daniel Tupou, Sitili Tupouniua and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves.
