I do the odd game or two, but nothing of a professional standard.

Take a peek at http://www.gcsportsphotos.co.uk and look at the Pro RL Galleries.

Rank amateur here :) Only started to try shooting rugby last season at Rossendale RUFC and found out how hard it is, especially with the poor Rossendale weather and slow lens!

Some of my pics on our website www.rossendalerugby.co.uk (Junior pics are restricted to registered parents only, but there are plenty of senior pics too)
 
Kent League 1 and our A XV in Mid Kent A :D

3 weeks to go :woot::banana::woot:
 
Forgot to say, League only from me, None of this kick and clap stuff !! <takes cover>
 
I do my local team - Weymouth RFC. Occasionally I get a shot in the local rag.

Have you tried Manchester R.U.F.C. in National 1 or Sedgley Park R.U.F.C. in the new British Championship.

Not as of yet (football has taken priority), it was in very early research phases but I thank you for the pointer :) I'll certainly check them out!!

Is shooting pro rugby the same as it is with pro football - in terms of accreditation?

Nowhere as of yet, and a brief look at the fixtures suggests that wont change. Batley v Halifax on Thursday and nothing sorted for the weekend yet. (usually find out Thursday)

erm - Thanks

Actually Kids rugby is brilliant. My youngest plays and as an ex footballer, it's really interesting to see how they bring them on through the young years, introducing new skills every year.

For photography it's excellent as well. I've never been challenged taking photo's at tournaments/matches etc, but you can't get near a youth football match now without mum's misquoting the law/data protection act.

A few of mine.

It took me a while to get used to the game and anticipate what was going to happen, plus get the positioning right.
 
Magners League, Heineken Cup and International competitions for me :D

Prem rugby (and the round ball game) for me :)

Tearsheet from News of the Screws from last game I covered at the end of the season.... Crappy scan and not the best frame but you can never guess what the pic editors are going to use, never seems to be the ones you think might get used when you wire.

Tries and conversions mate, everytime from my experience. Forget the middle of the park stuff that we love....

Well, I was going to say where as paradoxically, league stuff is all blood and guts middle of the deck, arms around necks, killing each other. The north south divide mate, we are a little more refined down sarf and in the West Country. :LOL::LOL::LOL::D

Get too engrossed in game to think about photos.:beer:
 
Depends on what shift I'm on that weekend.
And on the weather as it's in January :shrug:
 
Only shot the one game so far [from the stands, happened to be the same Tigers/Bath semi final]:
