The guy with the yellow socks and the guy with the ball both look so
casual, like this sort of thing is normal, but the bloke making the
tackle looks like he's going to drive his shoulder right through this
guy's spine! Great actin shot.

One can feel the hit from this side of the computer screen. "Thump" and down he goes. One moment that carries with it the energy of the rugby match... and so little protection against those hits.

Some great action here. I wonder if anyone has ever compared injuries between rugby athletes and bulked up (steroid poisoned) NFL athletes?

Wonderful action shot! Very dynamic. You had great light.

My son played rugby for just one year. I enjoyed watching rugby until my son was actually in the game. I was glad he gave it up to concentrate on rowing.
