p.1 #1 · Leaving it all on the pitch + 1

Some images of women's and men's matches from yesterday - I know the background is cluttered - it is what it is. Too, low light, high ISO (1600), got to live with it.

Anyway, thought you might be interested, great weather, all were fully engaged. As always, comments and suggestions appreciated.

Regards,

bob

@RustyBug,

Thanks, appreciate your thoughts - for clarification #3, the onlooker is a rugger watching for the ball to exit the scrum. I never have figured out how it works, sometimes they play the ball, others a whistle followed by another scrum. My fav part of #3 is the steam/fog rising from the scrum...

Strategy is in fact their huddle-up after the final whislte - gathering wits and emotions prior to handshakes (they were defeated 15-8). On a roll at end - 5 more minutes perhaps a different outcome.

And one more going 'artsy' - thoughts appreciated. Lady rugger reflecting on loss - in final 5 seconds of match.

I really like that last one. You can see the exhaustion, but still see the competitive fire in the eyes.

I also enjoy the one of the guy in blue leaving three guys in the dust. He looks pretty quick.

Yes, they all take the sport, and competition, seriously - I cannot image playing if one did not!

One of a set - the ball carrier cannot be assisted by teammates - i.e. no blocking, screening, etc. That, and the fact there are 15 opponents tracking the ball carrier, most often the ball carrier is corralled after cutting for 10-15 yards forward progress until overwhelmed numerically (and having his 'space', and options, greatly reduced). Such was the case here. There are breakaways, much like intercepting a pass in the flat in football, but they seldom occur.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Regards,

Bob
