👨‍🦽🏉 - Wheelchair Rugby

Simply awesome. And scary. No fear. Wheelchairs smashing into each other. Wheels coming off. Riders crashing to the floor and bouncing back up. My god. Football players are a bunch of woosies.

Wasn’t there a film about something similar or am I thinking Dodgeball?

There was Rollerball years ago. That was basically about killing the other players. Not dissimilar to wheelchair Rugby

Watched some of Eng v Aus tonight, quite decent.

But any international sport where Eng thrash the Aussies gets my serious vote :rofl:

Is wheelchair rugby what ordinary rugby players play after they’re forced to retire from the regular game after about three seasons?:thinking::grin:
