Separately, I’d encourage people to watch the wheelchair rugby. If you haven’t seen it before, I reckon you’ll be surprised how entertaining it is, and it’s absolutely brutal. It’s a really good watch. The players are mental, they belt each other and even throw themselves head first into the floor to try and score, it’s brilliant. A really good version of the game for TV audiences, and I reckon an area of huge potential growth for the game - it’s entirely inclusive, as anybody can play it.

I'm watching my first game now.

So fast up and down the playing surface. Speedy game

They have some wheels those lads

Well.

Paulo is the one who went on report and got binned but I reckon Roy Sunt will be in hot water over that dangerous tackle on Burgess

Only saw the highlights but I don’t think there’s much in it.
Yes, there’s lifting but he lets go as soon as he realises it. No driving or going on with it.

Agreed it was more Roy than Junior though.

Yeah Roy lifted via what was nearly a squirrel grip LOL.

Just reviewed it for myself. It was a spear that wasn't in the end. Landed on a bent arm.

They won't put them out for a final IMO.

Well. if they are anything like the NRL. It May be all about the fans right?

Royce strong except a softage tackle to let George Williams through to offload to Whitehead for a try.

Herb went off for a HIA after about 15 minutes and was ruled out with Nu Brown after the two of them had a defensive head clash

I wasn't aware able bodied athletes were allowed to play in the WCRL World Cup.

Apparently it's different to the Paralympics.

One of the Aussie best players, Bayley McKenna is able bodied.

Very inclusive sport

Exactly - opens up what is still a contact sport to those who’s bodies aren’t really cut out for contact sport.
