An England star was on the receiving end of a brutal challenge during the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup.
In the side’s opening match of the tournament, skipper Tom Halliwell was clattered by Australia's Bayley McKenna which sent him flying forward on to the floor. "Oh wow, biggest shot of the night! Halliwell rattled out of his chair! Huge collision!,” the commentators exclaimed. “Wow, look at that! Guess who is in amongst it again, it’s Bayley McKenna.”
Thankfully, he was unharmed and the leader of the team soldiered on and led his side to a 38-8 victory over Australia. Man-of-the-match Jack Brown was the star of the show at Copper Box Arena with a brace of tries during an all-action display, while Joe Coyd and Nathan Collins also helped themselves to doubles.
