Description:

Small, skinny, 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 his new teacher, Mr Kane, on the head, he makes a powerful enemy.

Jimmy and his best friends – Kitty, Manu and Matt – try to prove their worth on the rugby field, but to no avail. Mr Kane has it in for them – and life is already hard enough as they struggle to deal with the antics of 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!
