Leeds Rhinos Wheelchair Captain Jodie Boyd-Ward has made history today, becoming the first player in Wheelchair Rugby League history to reach 50 international caps and the first female player to achieve 50 international appearances.
Boyd-Ward reached the incredible milestone representing Wales, earning her 21st cap for the nation. She has also represented England on 22 occasions and Ireland seven times, taking her total international appearances to 50 across the three nations.
It was a memorable occasion for Jodie, with Wales marking the milestone in style as they secured an impressive 64-36 victory over New Zealand after getting their first win of the tournament last week. Five tries in the final ten minutes helped Wales seal a fantastic win!
The achievement is a remarkable reflection of Jodie’s dedication, commitment and contribution to Wheelchair Rugby League throughout her international career.
Everyone at Leeds Rhinos Foundation is incredibly proud of Jodie and would like to congratulate her on this historic achievement.
