It’s 99 days until the Rugby World Cup kicks off in the UK but Australian players are in need of corporate support to play.

History will be made this November when the inaugural Physical Disability Rugby League World Cup is played.

The five-team tournament will be hosted in Warrington with England, New Zealand, Scotland, Wales and Australia taking part.

Physical disability rugby league player and tournament ambassador Adam Hills told Mark Levy the Wheelaroos are in desperate need of corporate support to get them over to the UK.

“The England, the Scotland and the Welsh teams, they don’t have to pay a lot for travel,” he said. “And they probably don’t have to pay much for accommodation because they’ve all got mates that live in Warrington!

“We’ve got to get 20-odd players over to the UK, we’ve got to put them up for a week and a half, and you know, ground transport and all that kind of stuff.

“So if there’s anyone that wants to chip in…!”
