Some rugby shots

[goooner]

So I was lucky enough to get some tickets for the current Rugby world cup going on in the UK. Went to 2 games, but only took my camera to the 2nd game. Old camera, slow cheap lens, bad lighting, but I think these came out ok. Was my 1st try at sport photography, love it! Was a tough game between Wales and Australia. The Ozzies won 15-6

They are quite noisy, but I shot some of them at -2 so I could keep up the SS.

#1 Timing was slightly off, would have loved to have had the ball not on the frame's edge

#2 Line-out take

#3 The ref is warning the two lads having a 'push off'

#4 A scrum

That was one helluva game.
Australia's defence when they were down to 13 men was unbelievable.

I like the last two the most out of this set.
Good effort considering your shooting position.

Crowd was LOUD on the TV telecast!!!

Thank you, I was a neutral at the game, but the atmosphere was awesome!
