The Line Formation

Some words are the same in every culture. Hope, Texas was the last place that Ozzie, a league loving lad from the Queensland outback, expected to find himself. And the gridiron field, green and perfect under bright Friday lights seemed a world away from the tough, dirt-blown rugby grounds of his home. But life has ways of sidestepping even the best planned plays, and when Ozzie leaves the only place he's ever known for a town on the other side of the world, he doesn't know that he's about to run on in the hardest game he'll every experience. The game they call growing up.
