    Default Dubai 7's Rugby

    I try and make a point of keeping my two boys interested in sport whenever possible, so we make an annual pilgrimage to Dubai for the Sevens Rugby Tournament.
    Last season (2011) I was ill prepared, but this season I arrived with the 35-350mm firmly attached!

    Thought I would share a few of them with you guys, let me know what you think, warts and all!

    Great set of shots, especially those first two
    Thanks for showing me some of our boys in action, 7's is very poorly covered here and I probably won't see any of it on TV, except an couple of minutes of highlights if/when they win.

    Thanks for the comments guys, it's much appreciated.

    I'll share this next one especially for NgaiHill and all the other Kiwis on the forum.
    It was taken whilst I was in the stands enjoying a beer, hence the angle, but I think I will title it 'Extreem Wedgy"

    Thanks jd! Having shot rugby a few rugby games I know if you get the angle wrong on the lineout it just looks like a confusing mess, the the angle here is pretty good

    Sorry, no Canadian shots
    It was an Englishman, a Welshman and a Kiwi in our group, I'm sure there's a joke in their somewhere.
