A couple from Cornish All Blacks (Launceston RFC) v Bournemouth RFC, a real old school rugby afternoon A muddy old day but strangely less than 10 minutes of rain during the whole match. Just a shame in the kicking image the ball was the wrong side of his boot.

Rugby at its finest! It's a bit different now with their synthetic jerseys and indoor stadia, but I remember the old school rugby where the cotton jerseys would weigh twice as much as dry, caked with mud and soaked with rain. Coming from the Pacific Northwest, I can relate!

Also, I'm not exactly sure what the big fella is doing on the wrong side of the ruck in the 1st photo!

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

The North of Scotland is not noted for its bright weather in winter so ISO > 1600 is the norm. Sometimes 12000 ... and then it rains ...

It's the end of the KPMG Premiership - The Grand Championship Final.

Seems like a suitable image for the (rear) end of the season.

I am personally not a fan of even a slight grazing in that area.
