    Super action!!! So different from American football, no helmets to get in the way of those great expressions. Love the wild man in the first image. Love to see more of this sport.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Of course this is Rugby. A Gentleman's game. No need for helmets..

    Ah yes, rugby. Good stuff here. Good color and good rugby action. #1 is my favorite.

    I notice that the photos don't seem as sharp as they might be. Was sharpening applied to these images? It also looks like these images would be helped by a boost in contrast.

    I saw my first rugby game three or four years ago and developed an instant like for it. Since then I shoot every rugby game I can. Unfortunately there are not very many games played in this area.
