Against the odds, Try! takes a familiar sports formula and turns it into a genuinely life-affirming story about coping with "mixed abilities." In 2025, four Irish teams compete for the Mixed Ability Rugby World Cup in Pamplona, Spain. The sport is the same as full-contact rugby, only without contested scrums. Anyone can compete, no matter how good or bad his or her physical condition is. Bizarrely for such a violent sport, mixed ability rugby is openly tolerant and accepting.
