Clash of the Titans


Clash of the Titans
Nikon D200, Nikon 80-200mm AF-S, 1/500th, f/4.5, ISO 320

This was taken at Harlow RFC when they were playing Welwyn in a hard fought local match which I was covering for Herts & Essex Newspapers.


"Rugby football is a game I can't claim absolutely to understand in all its niceties, if you know what I mean. I can follow the broad, general principles, of course. I mean to say, I know that the main scheme is to work the ball down the field somehow and deposit it over the line at the other end and that, in order to squalch this programme, each side is allowed to put in a certain amount of assault and battery and do things to its fellow man which, if done elsewhere, would result in 14 days without the option, coupled with some strong remarks from the Bench."
