another rugby game for Floody

[squirl033]

Floody, we do play rugby here, though not on a professional level. a lot of cities have amateur rugby clubs. i like to go watch sometimes; i played for 5 years myself in high school and college, and still have a bit of a soft spot for the game... here are some shots i took a couple of weeks ago at a local club match... i kinda like the last one best, for the sense of speed it conveys...

Nice captures. I like shooting Rugby because you don't have to worry about getting inside a helmet to get good face shots. And there is plenty of action.

haha awesome :) Yup I love the last one, probably a better idea of the running game then today's professionals have :rolleyes Australia lost the World Cup some years back because England thought it would be more fun to kick goals then score try's :huh

A friend of mine shoots her husbands rugby here in Sydney, she spend lots of time processing each game, hehe she's worked out shooting a shot of the grass to mark the start of each game :thumb
