Our photographers represented well during the 2012 Rugby season in all competitions. We have selected the best of thousands of photos taken in appreciation for all their hard work and efforts.

Being a photographer is not the easiest job on earth as these brave souls not only have to brave the moment of the big game, but the weather as well. As the majority of the rugby season is in winter our guys have to sit out in the freezing weather.

Here’s to you guys. Thank for all your hard and fantastic work!
