Sharks, ladders and a four-year plan - how England won World Cup
England's triumph at the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup was built on an aggressive approach by head coach Tom Coyd - which included encouraging his players to see themselves like sharks.
England secured the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup for the third time, defeating France 50-38 in a thrilling match held in Wollongong, Australia. This victory marks the first nation to win the prestigious title three times. Tom Coyd led the England team, scoring four tries and contributing to their triumph. Hawkins, who recently won the Golden Boot award for being the best player in the world, also played a crucial role with two tries.
Joe Coyd and Jack Brown were among the standout performers for England. Despite the intense nature of the game, with both teams displaying skill and resilience, England emerged victorious, proving their dominance in the wheelchair game.
