About this book
This is the tale of two rugby-loving brothers who dream of playing for Wales one day. They imagine that they're playing in the Millennium Stadium to a crowd of thousands. But they're playing in a field in the countryside with birds and animals watching them. The competition between the brothers is fierce and it's a close game. Will one of them win before the final whistle (or before Mum calls them in for their tea)?
This rhyming story is both clever and sweet. The boys' dreams of playing professional rugby will be familiar to many readers and the characters' magical and powerful imagination will warm the cockles of many grown-ups' hearts.
