Silence For The Kicker Please

Carole and I went to Welford Road today for the Women’s Six Nations match between England and Scotland. In a relatively one sided match, which England won 59-7, Holly Aitchison kicked 6 of her 7 conversions; this picture is of one of them.

A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon with subtle skilful rugby being played vice the bash bang wallop of the men’s game.

By far the most enjoyable 80 minutes of Rugby I’ve enjoyed at Welford Road all season.

Thanks for dropping by

Good action shot

Excellent win, nice action shot. I am intrigued by all the phones out. One guy looks as if he is checking his phone, not taking a photo......so he will have missed the kick! Love looking at crowd scenes.

@casablanca I saw him when I looked at this shot on the phone. Strange eh?

@phil_sandford I remember being in the front row at Landsdowne Road in Dublin when Ronan O'Gara and Brian O'Driscoll were playing about a zillion years ago. Never took my eyes off the pitch. I've supported Ireland ever since! Couldn't countenance looking at a phone at such a moment, but each to their own, eh?

Lots of folk were taking photos/ videos with their phones. It does look a lot when you look at the crowd instead of when you are in it.
