What does Wheelchair rugby have to do with real rugby?

I know what rugby is and just kinda looked up wheelchair rugby and I cant find any similarities! Could you help point some out beside the number of players and that its aggressive?


Actually, Murderball is the 'real' name of the sport. It was changed to 'wheelchair rugby' to make it more 'politically correct'.

Can someone who plays wheelchair basketball decide they want to play wheelchair rugby instead?



I was sure you were joking, but wheelchair rugby actually exists! That is so...freaking...awesome.

To answer your question: no. The rules of wheelchair rugby require that all players are quadriplegic, whereas wheelchair basketball players are usually paraplegic and still have use of their arms.
