Really excellent shots. In the 5th, the ball carrier looks as if he's flying.

I'm always amazed by the skill of the players. Much better (IMHO) than NFL football for many reasons. Not the least of which is the almost non-stop play.

Too bad there's not much of it here at the professional level. Kids are playing it more and more though.

Very well done. What a great sport to get to shoot.

Thanks for the comments Jim,

Yes I'm lucky to shoot such an exciting sport:D, This is Rugby League which is one of 2 codes the other being Union.

Hi Ian, I've shot "grid iron", here in the UK & though, (to me), complicated, it does share a lot of similarities to RL!, other than the body armour of course:D. I wouldn't take away the athletisism or skill required for both sports but I agree it's nice to see a face & I hope the youth of America do take it up as it's a great sport
