    It's unbelievable.

    I've so much respect and admiration for them.

    What a game. I've watched it on and off during this world cup. The Skill. Effort and commitment was of the highest order, and will in my view attract lots more to take up the sport
    Able and disabled.
    Great result btw.

    Brilliant sport but needs splitting into able and disabled codes.

    Serious question. Why.
    A sport where both eg amputees and able bodied can compete on an equal basis. I reckon that is what makes it unique. And gives the disabled a more sense of satisfaction.

    Because of the extra force the able bodied players can put into their challenges. There are already stories of able bodies setting out to intimidate or even injure disabled opponents. Horrible to contemplate, but sport is competitive and...
