The world’s two best wheelchair rugby league teams will do battle in Leeds on Sunday.
The First Direct Arena hosts England against France in a rematch of last year’s World Cup final which was won by the hosts thanks to a last-gasp try from captain and Leeds Rhinos star Tom Halliwell. The skills on show at the 2022 tournament wowed television viewers and a world record crowd of 4,526 watched the decider in Manchester.
Tries are worth four points, scored by placing the ball on the ground over the goal line, or - in the case of players with limited mobility - tapping the ball on the wheel of their chair. Conversions or penalties are worth two points, with one for a drop goal. Kicks are made by punching the ball, using the fist. Teams are allowed six tackles, before having to hand over possession. What are wheelchair rugby league tags for? Each player wears two tags, one on each shoulder.
