- England will face France in the final of the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup on Friday
- The match will be contested between England and France for the fourth successive time
- Joe Coyd has scored in every game as England have beaten Wales, the USA, Ireland, and Australia to reach the final
England's bid to retain the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup on Friday will be driven by two brothers - one of whom is the head coach, the other a player. Tom Coyd has been England's head coach since 2020 and has to manage his younger brother Joe, who is a key figure in England's run to the final.
The family dynamic can make for some tense moments, but it worked four years ago as England won the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup. The Coyd family is well-known in wheelchair rugby league - their father Martin was an England international and played a significant role in the sport's development.
Why this matters: The match will be a great contest between two teams that have been hungry for victory.
What this means for you: If you're a fan of wheelchair rugby league, this match is likely to be an exciting one to watch.
