In Union

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 to 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…
