Rhinos star Tom Halliwell has said “thank you and sorry” to fans after England’s wheelchair rugby league side were beaten 43-34 by France at Leeds’ First Direct Arena.
England staged a spirited second half fightback, but fell just short after trailing 30-12 at half-time in front of a crowd of 2,311. It was the first time England have played in Leeds and the biggest venue to stage a wheelchair Test. Holroyd, who captained the team, said: “I want to say a massive thank you to the fans for coming out and supporting us. It means so much to me to be able to represent my country and captain the boys in my home city.
Full credit to the RFL and RL Commercial for putting his event on, because it was beautiful.” The world champions will get a chance for revenge when the teams meet again at the Palais des Sports in Marseille on November 26. Coyd said: “It’s a fantastic contest now. We have got an opportunity to go over there and beat them on their home turf, which has only been done once before, which was by us. It is a challenge we will relish, but right now we are really upset and will be for a few days.
