Still waiting to hear why my personal Mobility device wasn’t allowed on Jet2tweets flight. Removed from plane and then had to be transported (by plane) and couriered home.

The 2025 updated World Wheelchair Rugby International Rules are now available on the WWR website along with the summaries of rule changes: worldwheelchair.rugby/wheelchair-rug… The updated Score and Penalty sheets in writable PDF format can be found here: worldwheelchair.rugby/technical-reso…

Great to see these rule changes being made and providing the opportunity for feedback from those participating. As a sport we haven’t seen major rule changes for several years. It’s good to keep being innovative and seeing how we make the sport better. Paralympic Games The Peter Harrison Laboratory
