Brits win rugby opener
Troye Collins in action at Sydney
Troye Collins shined as Great Britain's wheelchair rugby team got off to a flying start in Athens on Sunday.

Collins scored 13 points as the European champions beat Belgium 27-22 in their Group B match.

The Belgians had held a 11-10 lead at half-time, but GB eased ahead in the third quarter before pulling clear in the fourth.

"In the past we've let our heads drop when behind but we stayed focused and our fitness showed," said Collins.

Britain's next match on Monday is against the powerful Canadian team, who are ranked number two in the world.
