World Cup 2026 : Round One (Wheelchair)

It's an interesting addition to the World Cup and starts later than the other formats. 

Ireland 110:10. Ireland were slick in racing away to a 66-6 half time lead. The US was more competitive later on but didn't have the quality to match their opponents.

England 98-18 Wales. After the first quarter, it was only 18-12 to England as Wales started spiritedly. It was 46-12 come half time and then England pulled away. 

France 114-0 Scotland. France is one of the favourites and Scotland anything but. It was 50-0 at half time so the result went the way of the seeding. Blow out scores are not uncommon in this form of the game.  

Australia 102-14 New Zealand. NZ is at its first World Cup and this is going to be a learning curve. It was just that with Australia up 48-10 at the break.
