Wales' Wheelchair Rugby League squad for the 2026 World Cup in Australia includes two unique father-son combinations: Martin and Matthew Turner, and Gareth and Sid Ramsey. This marks a historic first, as it is the first time two such pairings have been selected in one squad for the tournament.

Head coach Alan Caron has named a 12-strong squad, which also features potential Wales debutants Gareth Ramsey, John Berriman, and Fionn McCabe. Caron highlighted the special nature of the father-son duos, noting the rare opportunity they have to represent Wales together at a World Cup.

Wales will kick off their World Cup journey against England on Friday, 30 October, in Wollongong. Subsequent group matches will see them face Ireland and the United States at the same venue as they aim to progress to the knockout stages.

The team has been actively fundraising to help cover the costs of their trip to Australia, having already secured over half of their £10,000 target.

Why this matters: This selection marks a historic moment for Wales Wheelchair Rugby League, with two father-son pairings representing the nation at a World Cup for the first time.
