Hosts England face Australia in an eagerly anticipated clash as the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup gets off to a blockbuster start at the Copper Box Arena in London.

This is the fourth edition of the tournament, and England have reached the final in all of the previous three. However, their only victory came against the Aussies back in 2008.

This is the first time the wheelchair competition is part of the main Rugby League World Cup and not solely a disability sport, as non-disabled people can compete as well, and both men and women can play in the same team. Show less
