Description - The First Tackle by Rikki-Lee Arnold

Set in modern Australia, Daniella Murphy yearns to play rugby league, just like her brothers do, but time and time again the idea is rejected. Her grandma says no, her dad doesn't say anything, and the school bully just laughs in her face. But that doesn't stop her. Daniella Murphy is going to play rugby, she just has to figure out how to prove to everyone that it doesn't matter if she's not a boy, she can do it. An empowering sports story about a young girl trying to make her way in what some people still think is a "boy's" world. Determined to pursue her passion, she sets out to show that she's just as capable as the other ... even when she's set back by an accident.
