The Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup final between Australia and England boasts pre-match entertainment of a different kind tonight thanks to two young Bulldogs stars in Daniel Harrison and Chevvy Penehoe.
The Toyota Cup teammates will each ditch the footy boots for a new set of wheels, with both set to take part in the curtain-raiser demonstration match between France and the Barbarians.
The French went down 22-20 to Australia in last week’s semis while the Barbarians side was on the wrong end of a 68-0 scoreline against tournament favourites England.
Both sides though will be boosted with the speed and athleticism of Harrison and Penehoe who will need to overcome a steep learning curve in only their first outing as Wheelchair Rugby League players.
The demonstration match precedes a highly anticipated final between Australia and England, with the winner earning the title of Wheelchair RL World Champions.
