Sharks, ladders and a four-year plan – how England won World Cup
Sharks and ladders played their part in England's Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup success.
As they chased success in Australia, they had a ladder in team meetings to help them visualise their route to the trophy – spray painting a rung gold with each victory.
It was all part of coach Tom Coyd's masterplan, which boiled down to one thing – taking an aggressive approach.
It worked. On Friday, they beat France 50-38 in the World Cup final in Wollongong, to defend the trophy they won in Manchester four years ago.
Not that Coyd ever used the word 'defend'. He has steered clear of that term since England lifted the trophy in November 2022. For four years, he has wanted his team to have a more attacking mindset in the pursuit of back-to-back world titles.
Coyd, Brown deliver as England storm to Wheelchair glory
Superb attacking raids by Joe Coyd and Jack Brown helped England to their third World Cup trophy with a 50-38 win over France in an action-packed final at WIN Entertainment Centre.
Coyd and Brown scored seven times between them in England’s nine-to-seven try victory that ensures England's name is engraved on the IRL Cup again after 2008 and 2022.
The other two tries were scored for England by newly crowned Golden Boot winner, Robert Hawkins.
“It’s unbelievable – I can’t believe it – I’m so proud of the boys,” centre Mason Billington said.
In the earlier match to decide third and fourth placings, Australia overpowered Ireland 70-24.

Rugby League World Cup glory again for England’s wheelchair champions
England menâs wheelchair rugby league team completed an historic defence of their World Cup title, defeating their great rivals France in a thrilling final in Wollongong which underlined the overwhelming positives of the sport.
The English and the French have been the two dominant nations in the wheelchair game, sharing the previous four World Cup titles between them. On the field, they have produced thunderous and often controversial encounters but off it, there is great respect in a sport that allows disabled and able-bodied athletes to compete alongside one another.
The two nations served up another classic in Australia on Friday, with England emerging victorious to back up their win on home soil against France four years ago. The winning margin may have been 12 points but the contest was much closer for almost the whole match, with a late second-half flurry of points from the English proving decisive.
