The Aussie way: Schumacher backs Wheelaroos to deliver

For Wheelaroos star Zac Schumacher, the opportunity to reconnect with England in the 2026 World Cup is highly anticipated.

Having challenged their rivals fiercely during the second Ashes Test on the Gold Coast earlier this month, Schumacher believes his team is making progress. However, they must first navigate through some challenging opponents in Group B.

The Wheelaroos will encounter tough matches against New Zealand, Scotland, and France before they can consider their chance at reclaiming England's title.

Schumacher's recent experiences in the Wheelchair Ashes series have instilled confidence that the "Aussie way" will be advantageous at RLWC26. They showcased their resilience by bouncing back from a 56-28 defeat in the first Test to narrowly lose 48-42 in the second Test.
