Got my first photographers pass to an International game. Not as experienced as some of the other rugby photographers on here, only at it the year but really loving it.











Thanks for looking, any pointers greatly appreciated.

Great shots.

It was freezing out there, we went over to the Maldron for a few drinks, it took me over an hour to get warm again.

Some very nice picts there.

Normally, before giving access, the IRFU get you to sign a photographers agreement. I'm not sure about the "A" games though.

Thanks Paul, as cold as it was I loved it!!

I was never asked to sign anything I got an email confirmation of getting the pass and told the details of collecting the pass and when I did I was just asked my name and she crossed me off the list and that was that!

Was at the game and managed to avoid camera shake despite the Arctic conditions. Was good prep for the SA game the following day.

The set is on Flickr at the moment - link
