What does Wheelchair rugby have to do with real rugby?

Question

I know what rugby is and just kinda looked up wheelchair rugby and I cant find any similarities! Could you help point some out beside the number of players and that its aggressive?

Answer 1

sometimes a mature thought is best when followed by a mature action. good luck on that

Answer 2

i would rather have them call it by its lesser known name, murderball then weelchair rugby, its not at all like the real game.

Answer 3

few similarities mate

Answer 4

Actually, Murderball is the 'real' name of the sport. It was changed to 'wheelchair rugby' to make it more 'politically correct'.

Answer 5

How can it possibly be the same! Of course wheelchair rugby has to be modified to allow for disabilities! What did you expect! Just let disabled athletes have fun playing the game!
