“Get rid of this ball……. Fast!” by johnfalconer

“Get rid of this ball……. Fast!”

That’s what the West Harbour halfback is
thinking.
“We got him” is what the Randwick forwards are thinking!
And his mum and dad are thinking “Why isn’t he wearing his mouth guard properly? Those teeth cost us $40,000!”

(If you look at the halfback’s mouth you can see clearly that he hasn’t put his mouth guard in!)
Brilliant image and commentary.

Why you would ever play rugby without a mouthguard is a mystery to me! Great action shot

Thank you! As I said. Wait until his mum finds out he’s not wearing his mouth guard.

This is such a crazy sport and this is also an amazing shot with all the expressions you captured. This fellow should take a close look at how close and determined they were in regards to his teeth! haha

Thank you. It’s a great sport to photograph as all the action is around the ball!
On looking at it again it looks a bit like I superimposed the “galloping greens” onto the field”?? I was in the stand keeping out of the intermittent heavy rain.
