England on hunt for World Cup glory in Wheelchair Rugby League final

A packed out crowd at Manchester Central will tonight watch England take on France in the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup final.

Coach Tom Coyd’s England side cruised into the finals with a 125-22 win over Wales in Sheffield last Sunday.

And an expected 5,000 fans will take to the stands to see the two titans of wheelchair rugby league battle it out for the all important World Cup title.

Though England will be favourites in front of strong home support, France will be determined to bag an impressive third successive Rugby League World Cup.

The final is also a triumph for the sport itself with BBC coverage reaching record audiences. It is hoped that the legacy of the tournament will increase participation across the domestic game.
