The film opens with a rugby match being played on a pitch. There are many advertising boards along the side lines.
The players and their managers get off a bus. They wave at the camera and put their hands in the air. The bus driver gets off last and locks the bus, and there is a sign on the side of it which reads `Colts-New Hunslet'.
After the game, the players are asleep on the bus.
In the final scene, the team are on boat, a harbour is visible behind them. They joke for the camera.
