About the Image(s)

Last month (April) I reported on the lady Rugby 7 round Robin competition played in Hong Kong. The lady players were extremely agile with swift runs for their touchdowns. .

For the male players, far more successful interceptions were observed. Usually the runner attempting touchdown was brought down by the sheer weight of the interceptor (see original picture)

To fence off the interception, the runner hanging on the ball could be showing grossly unfriendly facial expressions ( original picture-- the white player was probably making a racist remark!), or alternatively pulling onto the interceptors hair ( supplementary picture --foul play !!).

Scoring and winning was never too easy!
