England is one of the most esteemed wheelchair rugby league teams in the world: not only are the English currently one of the highest-ranked sides, but they also won the 2008 Rugby League World Cup, and ended as runners-up on 2 separate occasions. As hosts of Rugby League World Cup 2021, it could be England's year again, but they fell short last time the competition was played on home soil, losing in the final in 2013.
