I was at the annual toowoomba grammar school vs downlands college rugby union game yesterday mainly for something to do, toowoomba grammar won in the last seconds of the game when a downlands player stomped on a grammar player.

I ran in when the other crowd of about 200-300 people ran in to celebrate the teams narrow victory and managed to snap this shot off. Wouldn't mind a bit of feedback.

have to say great pic,

SHows the emotion well, a lot of times these unplanned pics turn out the best.


And stomping should still be aloud in rugby, if you dont lay on the wrong side you wont get stomped..

Thanks for the comments.

It was the first real outing after getting a new 70-200 sigma back without the AF on and focus locking up issue.
