Nice shots - I love number 2. I love the expressions in the tackle.

Not sure about the lineout shots - it's taken me years to get them right. Given the choreography to get a lineout right - I think is essential to have the ball, the lifters and the players executing the play in the shot. Unless of course, you effectively take a portrait of the player catching the ball.

Women's rugby is great to watch - I had the privilege to shoot a Six Nations match between England and Wales last season. A brilliant game and wonderful to shoot as I could wander about taking shots from all angles (impossible at any of the men's games).

One thing - somebody needs to sort out the gum shields the team in blue have. They clearly don't fit properly.
