About the Image(s)

Earlier this year, I showed a few pictures relating to the resumption of Rugby 7 (now an international event) played in Hong Kong.after COVID. I commented on the fast,, energetic female players exhibiting an exciting but relatively gentle game play. I also reported on the rough male players who tended to employ "illegal acts" to stop the opposing team members from scoring.Some of our PJ members questioned the validity of my statement.
I went through my file of images and discovered quite a few foul play by the male players. In particular this relatively close-up view (see attached slide) clearly demonstrated the following:
The TITAN player running for a touchdown was stopped by the opposing team member grabbing onto his sport shorts closed to the groin region ( sensitive area!)
This TITAN player in return, trying to fight off the opposing team member by grabbing onto his hair.
Both players committed foul play-obviously documented with no possile denial!!
