I'm glad I wasn't in that game also. Toledo recently graduated to Division 2 rugby and the opponents are just bigger and tougher. The Celtics always offer me some match time, but its usually B-side, and I usually decline because I can't keep up with them younguns. There is an Old Boys match against Detroit in May I'm thinking about getting in shape for, but I'll have to verify that they'll have Oxygen and paddles on the touchlines. Thanks for the comment.

This is the first full-contact sports picture I've seen, and it's very nice. I'm unfamiliar with the sport, but I really like the picture. I'll give it a nine.


No. This is inappropriate touching.

The challenge photograph was typical mechanics of forming the the Maul.

The expressions on their faces are great. It would be nice to have a little more empty space in this photo. Maybe more space to the sides and including their shoes would help.
