New mum Ella Sabljak stars as Steelers defend Wheelchair Rugby World Championship crown
- For Ella Sabljak, the 2026 Wheelchair Rugby World Championships will be a little different to her tournament debut in Denmark four years earlier.
- Sabljak, one of four women on the Australian Steelers' mixed-gender roster for the event, is making her return to international competition less than a year after giving birth to her first child.
- Along for the ride is baby Billie, slotting into a non-playing but important morale-based role with the team, which has just begun its title defence in the Brazilian city of São Paulo.
