Irish rugby team training session

Seamus

The Irish rugby team had an open training session near me this morning. I went for a look and brought the camera. There was a large media presence there, including a french television crew. The training wasn't intensive and was really a photo opportunity for the media. It was great to get out with the camera and shoot some sports again.

The best pic I took was Malcolm O'Kelly having fun:



The other pics aren't great:



I liked the facial expression



Eddie O'Sullivan (the Irish manager) talking to the backs.







The forwards training and being videod by one of the training staff



and an attempt at a framing pic.

love that first one!
they are all great, though I'm not real sure about the last one.

Looks like a rough sport, don't see that in our parts.

Thanks Tessa, the last shot is bad all right, a failed experiment ,


It's nice to shoot something in the winter Gary, I might make an effort next year.
