Lightning Rugby Box Set
Drew Hunt
They say lightning never strikes in the same place twice. In this boxset, it strikes six times at the same amateur rugby league club in the heart of northern England.
Read about men falling for other men with muscles, brawn, and a desire to tackle the opposition to score not just tries and goals, but hearts, too. We see connections forged on the pitch, on the sidelines, in the dressing room as well as in the workplace.
