message: I've returned this to :Category:Rugby as it is neither a form of rugby union nor rugby league but related to both. Similar in my view to say Underwater rugby or Touch rugby.GordyB 14:19, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

message: This page should make it clear that this sport only borrowed the word Rugby and is in fact nothing like the game of Rugby and shares not common roots 86.42.66.208 (talk) 22:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The trouble with your addition is that it creates a contradiction: "The rules include elements of wheelchair basketball, ice hockey, handball and Rugby. It is a contact sport and physical contact between wheelchairs is an integral part of the game. It has little in common with Rugby football except for the name." can't both be true. Until a reliable source is cited for either of the statements my preference is to let the older, more stable/unchallenged statement stand. Roger (talk) 07:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why can't both be true , Gaelic football has elements of basketball (bouncing the ball),soccer (kicking) and rugby (tackles) but has little little in common with any of them 86.42.103.105 (talk) 19:22, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

message: "players need to have disabilities that include at least some loss of function in at least four limbs"
Is this right..? At least four limbs? Am I missing something here, or do people generally not have only four?

thread_title:  At least four limbs 

message: Our article currently speaks only of Goals, with no mention of Tries, and our article Try (rugby) (to whose Talk Page I have now added a similar section) currently makes no mention of wheelchair rugby. But the Channel 4 commentary on the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games (currently taking place in 2021 due to the Covid19 pandemic) almost always speaks of tries, and when a player scores a caption (presumably from some official paralympic broadcaster) often or usually appears showing his (or very rarely her) name and the word "tries" followed by the number of times he or she has scored in the match, thus seemingly indicating that 'tries' is now some sort of official terminology, at least in British English (for all I know, it could be Goals, Points, Scores, or Touchdowns, in various other varieties of English). I think both articles need to be amended to say something about this, though quite likely I won't be doing so myself anytime soon (if at all) per WP:NOTCOMPULSORY and WP:BNO, so other perhaps more interested editors should feel free to try to fix the matter themselves.
