I'll give it a go tomorrow, if they are sold out, I'll be very happy to miss out for that reason. 

I booked a hotel before getting tickets so wasn’t that patient

[Hopping Mad]

That was completely awesome. Looks a must-see sport to watch live.

Great to hear how highly wheelchair RL is now trending on social media.

[Chanter]

Wow just wow! Breathtaking skill and speed. I'm hooked! Brutal at times too but what an advert for RL.

It's genuinely brilliant, proper non stop action and the hits can as you say be brutal.

It's RL's hidden weapon in my opinion - Just the fact that its all inclusive so not  just for 'disabled' people, they want to make it a sport in its own right and not just something you play if you have a disability.

Awesome

Would love to hear Vossy commentate on wheelchair Rugby League.

Thought the same!

Well, there you go.

A great occasion, a great game, loads of new fans for Rugby League and an England win against Australia. 

I am feeling a little emotional if I'm honest.

[Padge]

Maybe somebody needs to remind the people running the sport that this is what people like, fast furious hard and played in a great spirit without arm waving, pointing and claiming everything that didn't happen.

I got tickets for the final a couple of weeks back. I’ve not really seen much of the game before and with the mens final being on the Saturday and that on Friday night, I was a bit torn whether to bother getting them because we’ll make a day and night of the Saturday. After watching that tonight I’m absolutely buzzing for it. I think it might be the wisest decision I’ve made regards to tickets across the World Cups. 
 

Got everything crossed England make that final. What a night that could be.

I had a feeling the Wheelchair game might be a bit of a hidden gem that sets the world cup competition alive!

[moorside roughyed]

How did rugby league survive for so long without wheelchair rugby league? Watched it,loved it!

I think all of us who have seen it before were in anticipation, we weren't disappointed.

Hello everyone, so glad to hear the positive reports about wheelchair rugby league, was it broadcast on the BBC free to air over there in the UK?

Yes, the brutal hits bring people in straight away, but then the skill and speed keep them there as the game has a lot of depth.

I see ex-England rugby union player and Telegraph columnist Austin Healey has been tweeting how thrilling he found wheelchair rugby league.

I've got a sneaky suspicion that it might just have smashed the viewing figures out of the water too...
