Love the intensity in the players' faces in the third Bob!

Thanks Douglas,
One thing I like about the women's match, they are all in, 100%, without all of the sniping and commentary when one makes a mistake. In fact, you can probably generalize that to most sports - soccer, softball, gymnastics, etc. Men, on the other hand,....
I enjoy their enthusiasm and their enjoyment of the moment. Don't misunderstand, they are as competitive as men, but in a different way.
The young lady, tongue, is violating rule #1 - wear a mouthpiece!
Bob-
A tough sport, and your fine closeups show it.
The third image lets out the secret truth- rugby is semi-organized mayhem, and even with women, the closer you are to being a thug, the better prepared you are .
Nice work.

Thanks for your thoughts Ray, no retiring violets here
And having just come off a full night of rain, temperature ~ 45-degrees F made for an interesting time. None minded, until the match concluded - then a rush for dry clothes and warm cars.

Thanks Charlie,
Just letting their hair down, in a manner of speaking. A good number of participants are also in the military (both teams) and just out having fun. And I say that with all due respect, having served 13 years myself.
