Around The Grounds
Rugby’s back! I’ve been just a little bit excited!! As I packed my gear for the Montecillo ground here in Dunedin I was trying to remember what the last rugby related event was I shot. It was back in early March I think. It might have been a preseason game or a training run. Now, three months later on a fine June day in Dunedin, with the temperature sitting on 8 degrees and a definite winter bite in the air, I find myself still shooting preseason rugby. What strange times these are.
At this time of year usually season have fallen apart, injuries have taken hold, teams eye an unbeaten season and plans for a run in to the semi-finals are starting to form. Yet, here in the 2020 season, on a chilly June afternoon, I found myself heading off to see some preseason rugby. Simply happy to be seeing a game of rugby.
