His captain pinned him to the wall. The drill was over. Neither of them moved.
Jamie Monroe is a rookie flanker thrown into the starting seven with shaking hands and a jersey that smells like the last guy who wore it. The club’s back pitch is mud and floodlights, the changing room reeks of deep heat and boot polish, and his captain — Dara Walsh, six-three, ninety-eight kilos of scar tissue and silence — has decided Jamie’s education starts tonight.
One-on-one drills on the back pitch turn into film sessions at Dara’s house. Every tackle correction puts Dara’s hands somewhere they linger. Every ruck drill ends with Dara’s chest against Jamie’s back, breathing words into his ear that stopped being instructions two sessions ago. When the changing room empties after Thursday training, Dara doesn’t let go of Jamie’s jersey. Jamie doesn’t ask him to.
