Bishopston Rugby vs. Bristol Saracens. 31/12/2006.

Not that high on the pecking order today, but still a nice job to cover aside from the pouring rain - yet again.

The interesting fact about todays game is that Bishopston Rugby are coached my a chap called Matt Salter (blue cap in pic #5), who happens to be a full time pro and club captain of Bristol Rugby. As such 'Bish' get OK crowds and play good rugby due to his input.

The poor fella in the last shot was in absolute agony as popped his shoulder and quite why the bloke in shot #3 is having a lie down is beyond me.....Oh and loving shot six, one I have already tagged 'The essence of Rugby' !

Usual remit applies, shot in full manual, various ISO and shutter but 2.8 all the way.

Comments welcome, just some quick edits.

A a none rugby watcher.... looking at the pics I believe all rugby should be played in the rain and mud Pic 4 l was expecting to see mel gibson with blue face paint

Excellent pics....

Mate, everyone loves pic 4 and thats the one that sold yesterday !

Some fab images in there (again!!!) - #4 is a cracker. I think the blue face paint would be acceptable, however I think the kilt would be a little bit out of place. Then again, maybe I'm just being old fashioned!?

Pete - This and your Sale Sharks 1/1 set are both superb but this set is my favorite. They leave no doubt that these chaps love what they're doing except perhaps that look of scorn in #6 -- love it!
