• Meet Team Australia

  • The Australian Steelers are one of the world’s most decorated wheelchair rugby teams. The reigning World Champions have hoisted the Canada Cup twice and will be looking to lift the trophy for a third time this year.

    Led by the dynamic duo of Ryley Batt and Chris Bond and buoyed by a strong supporting cast, fans should expect a lot of excitement from Australia.
