In rugby, you can be the best player in the world. On your own, you are nothing.
After a disastrous season that almost ended in relegation, the Tarragona Gladiators need to believe again. LluÃs Pujol returns home to take over as head coach, knowing that rebuilding a team is about far more than tactics.
Around him is a squad full of competing dreams. Miguel Quijano, the forty-year-old captain refusing to surrender to age. Joan Pla, an eighteen-year-old prospect taking his first steps into professional rugby. Ulises Joyce, an Irishman still searching for his own Ithaca. Verlaine Baudelaire, a media star determined to prove he is more than a famous face.
As the season unfolds, victories and defeats bring pressure, injuries, ambition, money, loyalty and ego into the dressing room.
High Tackle is a character-driven rugby novel about professional sport, friendship, sacrifice and the thin line between success and failure.
Because matches may be won by points. Teams are built by people.
