The Wheelchair State of Origin is providing an opportunity for disabled people to compete with and against able-bodied people in a game of wheelchair rugby league.
The annual State of Origin match, won by NSW this year, allows people of all abilities to compete on a level playing field to provide an entertaining spectacle all while facilitating an important conversation.
Despite Queensland having never held the trophy in its six year history, Queensland co-captain Shaun Harre is optimistic for next year’s match and thankful for the opportunity to play sports with his brother, who is wheelchair-bound following a motorbike accident.
