'Twins Oz and Ellie are footy fanatics. They can’t wait to introduce Aussie Rules to their cousin Sanjay, who is moving back to Australia from overseas. 10-year-old Oz is the key playmaker for the Falcons (as he’ll tell anyone who’ll listen!). Ellie is a talented full-forward and the leading goal scorer for the whole league. But when their cousin Sanjay tries footy for the first time, he’s a natural. Suddenly, Sanjay is the Falcons’ hot new recruit and Oz and Ellie have some competition!'
