P.D. Singer is an excellent writer. I previously enjoyed her "Donal agus Jimmy" tremendously and was not disappointed with "Scrum." This story has a theme similar to that of "Dancer" by B. Alexander in that both stories center around a smitten fan of a star in a particular field who yearns to meet the object of his fascination. I don't know which I liked more, being neither a fan of rugby or dance. However, I can say I enjoyed each of them. "Scrum" is expertly written without a word out of place. The story is well constructed and takes the reader just where the author wants one to go.  The only thing I can say to the contrary is that the author employs the seemingly almost standard female writer's take on lovemaking between men, which I gather appeals to female readers. That's perfectly fine. (Of course!) But reality may be a bit different. Nevertheless: great story from a great writer!
