France and Ireland will go head-to-head in Wollongong on Tuesday at the WIN Entertainment Centre, with a place in the 2026 IRL Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup final up for grabs in the tournament’s first semi-final.

Both sides have enjoyed positive group-stage campaigns, although France have been particularly impressive, winning all three of their fixtures against Australia, New Zealand and Scotland to secure their place in the last four with a perfect record.

Ireland, meanwhile, finished second in their group to book their semi-final spot, but will be looking to bounce back after suffering defeat to England in their final group-stage outing.

France (squad): Gilles CLAUSELLS, Damien DORE, LEO HIVERNAT, Jeremy BOURSON, Adrien ZITTEL, Jonathan HIVERNAT, Dany DENUWAELERE, Jorge GELADE PANZO, Guillaume DUBRUEL, Nicolas CLAUSELLS

Ireland (squad): Joseph CALCOTT, Melanie GRIFFITH, Cian HORGAN, Thomas MARTIN, Jack MANGAN, Oran SPAIN, Phil ROBERTS, Peter JOHNSTON, Toby BURTON-CARTER, James MCCARTHY
