Over the past four weeks, we have been following with great excitement the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup, taking place in Wollongong, Australia. We are particularly proud to see our very own Calum Davidson (2018) representing Scotland as the team’s Vice-Captain.
Scotland’s journey throughout the tournament has been one of valuable lessons, impressive progress and, most notably, a historic breakthrough. Calum, who plays for Edinburgh Giants, played a pivotal role in inspiring Scotland to their first victory at the 2026 IRL Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup last Friday, scoring an incredible four tries in a commanding 62–18 win over New Zealand.
Calum contributed an impressive 22 of Scotland’s 62 points, earning him the well-deserved title of Player of the Match.
Scotland have one final fixture ahead of them as they prepare to take on Wales tomorrow, Wednesday 11 November.
A huge congratulations to Calum and the entire team, and the very best of luck for their final match!
