It may be a stretch to say wheelchair rugby league is the future of the sport, but it’s definitely a game on the up.
A few years ago, it was being played in small leisure centres or even on car parks, with nobody watching. This afternoon a crowd of 2,311 turned up at Leeds’ First Direct Arena to see England take on France in a rematch of last year’s World Cup final. The result went the other way this time, France winning 43-34 but it was a terrific game and occasion, broadcast live on BBC 2 and the feeling inside the venue was rugby league is on to something special.
Joe Coyd added the extras, but France scored the next four tries before two in as many minutes either side of half-time got the home side back in the game. Player of the match Jeremy Bourson crossed twice for France in the opening 40, Damian Dore touched down and Lionel Alazard got the other. He converted them all and landed three penalties.
