GB start with a win! GB 50- 14 IRE. GB were dominant in the first match of the Women’s Cup in Paris. GB had a chance to play all 8 players and try out a number of different lines. A great start to the tournament. The Women’s cup is an event run by the French Wheelchair

Great to see these rule changes being made and providing the opportunity for feedback from those participating. As a sport we haven’t seen major rule changes for several years. It’s good to keep being innovative and seeing how we make the sport better. Paralympic Games The Peter Harrison Laboratory
