Twelve-year-old Christian Phillips doesn t think he will make the junior rugby team. When his parents give him a pair of footy boots before the trial a gift from his late grandfather, a staunch Wallabies fan Christian is still not convinced. Shocked when he makes the team, and relegated to the wing, Christian soon realises his idea of teamwork is a little different from that of the coach and other boys. Christian spends most games waiting for a pass and decides conforming is easier than challenging the culture of the team. But when they have to face the brutal Scots team on their home turf, a new leader emerges From Raewyn Caisley, the acclaimed and established author of TOP MARKS, NOT CRICKET, HOT SHOT, TENNIS STAR, QUEEN S CUBBY, FREE STYLE and GREAT LEAD, comes another book in the popular Junior Sports Series.
