Are you sure that wasn't Auzzie Rules Football rather than Rugby? There isn't a lot of punching the ball in Rugby.YA! I was in a bar over the weekend after a wedding and they had a game on. Punching the ball, tackling, kicking the ball.
#3 is my favourite, what lens are you using because the 5D needs top quality lenses

I played for a while, back in high school and afterward for a club. It's a lot of fun but pretty insane. My body would be a lot more beaten up if I had continued to play. I've had broken fingers, sprained ankles & wrists, and I've got at least one great looking scar over my eye that probably came with a concussion.
I liked football better, but playing rugby was more fun. Not to mention that the camaraderie between teammates and even opponents in rugby, is really hard to beat.
actual "rugby union" football doesn't involve punching the ball... that's called a "knock-on", and gets a penalty kick for the other team. you can kick the ball ahead of you then run and recover it, or you can pass - laterally or backwards only - to one of your teammates. or you can hang onto it and charge full-tilt into the other team, and hope you don't get clawed to death in the loose ruck that follows your inevitable impact with the ground...![]()
Ya, that certainly sounds like Auzzie Rules Football. That is one sport that is over the top crazy...way more that even Rugby.I just know a bunch of people were kicking the ball to each other, and kinda punching the ball (not throwing it) when they were close to each other, and then they were kicking the ball through the field goal (uprights). Whatever it was, it was crazy!!
