Wales' Boyd-Ward to make Wheelchair World Cup history

Translate

Wales captain Jodie Boyd-Ward is to become the first player in Wheelchair Rugby League history to win 50 caps.

The Leeds Rhinos skipper will lead Wales in their World Cup fifth-place play-off semi-final against New Zealand in Wollongong on Monday (00:00 GMT).

Boyd-Ward will be winning her 21st Wales cap, having also played 22 times for England and seven times for Ireland.

Wales' top goal-scorer Andrew Higgins will hope to add to his tally of 158 goals as he joins leading try-scorer Stuart Williams (77) in winning a 40th Wales cap.

Meanwhile, father and son Martin and Matthew Turner will play together for the first time, a Wales landmark at a World Cup.

The match will also be the first between Wales and New Zealand in the wheelchair version of the sport.
