Rugby Rivals

by Mike Levitt

When opponents become teammates, Sam needs to prove he knows what rugby is all about

A rugby player has trouble fitting in at his snobby new school, and with his new teammates. After lashing out and hurting a teammate in an unsporting way he struggles to learn valuable lessons about teamwork, and regains his sense of integrity and purpose on the rugby field.
