England Rugby Training - 31/1/2007.
England Rugby training. Usual spec - 30 minutes to shoot open play, running drills etc, before it is shutters off and away you go. No real full on contact but nice photo ops for some stocky stuff of pass and run movement etc.
140 mile round trip for 30 minutes worth. All worth it 
Was there for the guy in pic 3 - Shaun Perry, Bristol Rugby's scrum half.
Sorry about the text but need to protect these.

Re: England Rugby Training - 31/1/2007.
Superb shots again Pete. I especially think that the composition on no.5 and the rugby balls is up there with the very best of your work. Excellent stuff

Re: England Rugby Training - 31/1/2007.
Another great set Pete
Wouldn't it be wiser to have your copyright thing in the middle of the images? Seems to me it would be quite easy to crop it out on a lot of those images.
Maybe a faded insignia acroos the centre of the image would offer more protection.

Re: England Rugby Training - 31/1/2007.
I would have thought protection of copyright was more important to be honest, a faded text wouldn't actually distract from the images too much but would offer much better protection..........only my opinion of course.
Good to see you able to be back up and about, any more thoughts on the Brum meet?

Re: England Rugby Training - 31/1/2007.
Great shots, just a real shame you were forced to photograph a losing team and not the mighty force that is Wales

Re: England Rugby Training - 31/1/2007.
absolutely brilliant BP, it seems that photographing people is your forte, you are in a class of your own.
Hope you are feeling well these days

Although as a sport I prefer footy, your rugby pics are outstanding.

Re: England Rugby Training - 31/1/2007.
That's the Saxons squad (formerly the A Squad) - I spy Olly Barkley, Chris Jones (not even on the bench for the Italy game), Jordan Crane, maybe James Haskell.
The irony here being that the full 6N squad trained at Bath Uni today :D
Good shots Pete. I like the Barkley portrait the most.
