How is wheelchair rugby played?

Wheelchair rugby league is a mixed-gender sport played by two teams of five, using a rugby ball. Players score tries by grounding the ball over the try line, just like in rugby league. It's played indoors on a basketball court, with players using special wheelchairs to move around and tackle opponents.
