Paul, good action shots.
Surely #3 is a yellow card with the tackled player's legs being lifted above the horizontal.

Hi David

Surely #3 is a yellow card with the tackled player's legs being lifted above the horizontal.

A lot of big tackles goes on in these games with very few cards or even stoppages for resulting injuries,if its a bad tackle the players have a quick punch up,then shake hands after the game and have a few beers together.Not sure its like that in football.

Paul, for me this is football, the round ball game is Soccer.
I am from the Southern Hemisphere and attended a school in Brisbane where anyone in the first 15 was a god like person so Rugby is in my blood along with Rugby League. You are right about the punch-ups and the beers afterwards though.

Re: A few more rugby shots !

All good, but No5 stands out for me.

Re: A few more rugby shots !

Thanks Les
Always think portrait frame works so well in isolating a player in full flow,hopefully with my new 200f2.8 i will be able to soften the background and isolate the player even more.

Shoots number 4 and 5 are my fav. Great ones. I love their facial expression. Great photos.
