Rick Penning (Sean Faris) lives life just like he plays rugby; fast, hard-hitting and intense. When life on the edge lands him in jail, prison warden Marcus Tate (Sean Astin) offers him a chance to get back in the game by playing for a long-time rival team, Highland Rugby. Reluctantly, Rick joins the team where he must adopt the gruelling training schedule and unique code of conduct that Highland's legendary coach (Gary Cole) demands. Egos clash and bitter competitors struggle to find the meaning of team. As on-field battles rage, hearts are challenged and loyalties are tried. Rick Penning must decide between the life he lived and the life that stands before him. With a national championship on the line, he will learn that the greatest victories are born in the heart.

A botched sports movie that contains everything that I’ve seen done better in other movies a thousand times. On top of that, it simply steals anything that might come in handy. I mean what was that haka supposed to be doing there? Just because it is associated with rugby today, they simply went and put it into the movie to make it look cool, or what? I also didn’t really like the dynamic camera which tended to keep moving around, trying to create the impression that I was on the pitch with them getting ready for my game of the century.
