Small, skinny and short-sighted . . . and dazzlingly talented.
Jimmy Joseph loves rugby. All he dreams about is one day playing for his
country in a World Cup, or winning a Test series for the Lions with a
last-minute drop-goal. But when he kicks an up-and-under in the
schoolyard and accidentally hits the new head of PE, Mr Kane, on the
head, he makes a powerful enemy.
Jimmy and his best friends - Manu, Scott and Kitty - try to prove their
worth on the rugby field, but to no avail. Mr Kane has it out for them,
and he's being helped by team captain Mike Green, well known as the
school bully.
Can Jimmy and his friends overcome the tyranny of Mr Kane and help Mike
see the error of his ways? Or will the combination of bullying, pressure
and dirty tactics derail the friends' rugby careers before they have
even begun?
An epic new rugby series begins here!
