## Summary

England have beaten France 50–38 in Wollongong to win the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup for a record third time. The victory makes England the first nation to claim three titles and gives Tom Coyd’s side a major success after the men’s and women’s teams’ disappointments.

Joe Coyd scored four tries and Jack Brown three, while Rob Hawkins added two tries and helped set up a score. France stayed in contention through tries from several players, including a hat-trick by Dany Denuwelaere, but England pulled clear in the second half. The teams had each won twice in their four meetings since England’s 2022 final victory, and their previous three World Cup showpieces were decided by a combined margin of just 10 points.
