Synopsis:

John Godber scripted and made his directorial debut with this adaptation of his 1984 play about an amateur rugby team. Decorator and ex-Rugby League player Arthur (Gary Olsen) accepts a high-stakes bet from Reg Welch (Tony Slattery), manager of the tough Cobbler Arms team. Arthur must train a team to beat the Cobbler Arms, and he chooses the weak Wheatsheaf Arms losers, a motley crew who would rather quaff at the local pub. They're uncooperative -- until Arthur introduces them to their new fitness instructor, attractive gym-owner Hazel (Samantha Janus of the Game On comedy series). The training sessions get underway, with Arthur keeping his big bet a secret from all concerned. Set in West Yorkshire, the film was actually shot in Cardiff, Wales.

Arthur's only passions in life are his wife Doreen and Rugby League. When he hears about the Cobblers and their corrupt manager, Arthur bets his life savings that he can train any team to beat them. He enlists gym owner Hazel Scott to save himself from possible financial ruin and the wrath of his wife...

A former Rugby player accepts a challenging bet that he can train any team within eight weeks to beat the famous local Cobblers Arms rugby team. Together with fitness instructor Hazel he starts training a completely amateurish group of players.
