Cow-cockie Dickie has never been off the farm to travel, but it's a World Cup Year (1995) for heaven's sake! Dickie sets off to South Africa on a supporters' tour to follow the best rugby team in the world, and to see them bring home the World Cup. With Jonah Lomu, Zinny and Fitzy on the team, how can they possibly lose?
On his trip, Dickie encounters big games and big game; Zulus, Aucklanders and other foreign cultures; and learns a heap about himself.
