Dubai 7's Rugby

[Jdflute]

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.

All the best

Great angles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This shows a "thinking" photographer!

[Jdflute]

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

Love the shots.....

Any chance you have any shots with the Canadian Team in them.....a young lad whom I have know all his life made our mens team this year at age 18......an amazing player for one so young.....

[Jdflute]

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.
