Things are not great at home, with Pops having Alzheimer's and Sam's mother trying to make ends meet, but Sam's struggles really begin when his school is shut down and he transfers to Rosedale Heights. Sam feels like he's alone against the world trying to prove himself -- and failing. He has trouble fitting in with the snobby Rosedale team, especially Bittner, who resents Sam's presence. In an act of retaliation, Sam breaks a teammate's nose, and he knows he's lost sight of what rugby is supposed to be about. When Sam scores the winning try in a game, he wonders if it was for his own glory or for the team. All seems lost when, set up by Bittner, Sam gets kicked off the team under suspicion of stealing. Can Sam prove his innocence and get back in play for the highly anticipated England game? And can he play the kind of rugby that will make Pops proud?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Rugby football $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Rugby football players $x Fiction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Levitt, Mike, 1957- $t Rugby rivals. $d Toronto : James Lorimer & Company Ltd., Publishers, 2020 $z 9781459414938 $z 9781459414938 $w (OCoLC)1119665358 941 $a 3 952 $l TAPB572 $d 20221202014717.0 952 $l CUPC586 $d 20210302015050.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20201113010119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1BE352C257D11EB87C2F3B83DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
