    OT lovely moment .....

    ... at the wheelchair rugby league world championships. England dismantled Ireland 121-0. Halfway through the 2nd half, an English sub came on, young lad named Roberts. One of his Irish opponents was his Dad. Come full time there was a huge family hug.

    Father v Son in international sport. Quite possibly a first.

    Must be rare, I think Ron and Leon Haslam raced against each other many years ago.

    What has that got to do with a father and son moment? What has 124 test matches got to do with a Rugby League score? It's been said before, you're not even slightly amusing so stick to the day job.
