Good prog about wheelchair rugby...

[Philtaz]

..just started on BBC 4. Looks worth a watch, it's warts 'n' all!

[joeluke]

Wheelchair rugby?

How do they score tries, kick goals etc?

Sounds like yet another of those made-up 'sports'

[pastafreak]

The players are disabled...and just as rough and murderous as more able-bodied players.

[Philtaz]

Watch the programme joeluke, it's quite humbling and an insight to the life of a paraplegic and how they cope with it.

You might even learn something.......

[joeluke]

....but it's not rugby is it?

It's just a cross between wheelchair dodgems and catch ball

[Philtaz]

Those who play it obviously have a different mindset to yours.......

Thankfully.

[pastafreak]

Some people can't/won't walk in the other guys shoes......

Those guys are physically stronger than able-bodied men,in many ways,and need to use different skills to get a result.

[Philtaz]

They have an outlook and mental fortitude that many would fail to match.
