Thank's for looking

[KMCC]

As always, great shots.

Thanks for sharing them; not too many scrums to be found around here this time of year. It'll pick up in the fall though.

Those dudes look deeply nuts. Maybe it's the American in me, but I'd like some padding. Just sayin'.

Great shots!

Thank's Kent, no rugby union here at the moment

Cheers, rugby is a mans game, did American football start off with all the padding and helmets ?

brings back memories of my youth... i played wing and outside center in high school and college. a rugged sport, not doubt, but in some ways less dangerous than American football. you tackle differently in rugby, and you don't have a 240-lb linebacker in armor smashing into your knees...

Those are great, esp. 2 and 3. No union till September

Cheers

No padding, but they did wear leather helmets. But when players started getting killed or paralyzed on the field, they upped the padding and made harder helmets.

I did recently take pictures from the rugby league in Levittown, PA, but since it was my first time shooting them, and I'm not really using a sports/fast lens, and then I got distracted by another party that was going on there, my pics aren't quite as good as this..
