2024 SANTOS WHEELCHAIR RUGBY NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP | Over the past three days, Adelaide played host to our major domestic competition, the National Championship, as elite level wheelchair rugby returned to South Australia for the first time in over a decade. Across the weekend, fans were treated to international star players from France, the Netherlands and Korea, joining the NZ Wheelblacks and our 7 state teams in the quest to be crowned National Champions.
