Tigers now have a wheelchair team, just wondered if it's popular over there?

[Not very PC I know but] is this the brainchild of Peter Wheeler (now that he is a pensioner) and Mark McCafferty so that they can control the game before any Unions get hold of it?

They Gaelic Warriors were the subject of an episode of The Underdogs on RTE a couple of weeks ago, I didn't catch it myself, but seems to be catching on a bit.

The film Murderball is a must see if you're at all interested in wheelchair rugby.

Murderball is of interest to all those fascinated by competitive sport- full stop! It's compulsive viewing.
