more rugby 7s action

most teams start with all hands on the ball – in this case Fiji, who won the tournament

then it is all action - with only 7 minutes in each half, rugby 7s is a fast game with lots of running with the ball

[Scotland against Portugal]

[Samoa against NZ]

[and Australia against Russia]

and some more great lineout jumps

[Scotland against Canada]

but sometimes the jumpers don’t get the ball

[USA and Fiji]

and kicks to convert a try

[NZ]

Having front row seats in a smaller stadium with some sunshine really did make it easier to take good shots – in bigger stadium my camera is on full zoom and I’m at a higher angle and night games mean floodlights - which all change the kind of photos that are possible.

I also had a good number of blurred shots, and some that miss the action but I’m pleased with 10 good action shots.
