USA Eagles Rugby World Cup Qualifying

The USA Eagles rang in America’s birthday with a clutch 12-6 victory over Canada in the first match of a home-and-away Rugby World Cup Qualifier series at Blackbaud Stadium on July 4th. It was a privilege being one of the photographers again. I got a taste for the raw violence that is synonymous with this sport last year when I photographed the USA Eagles' defeat by the French. I wouldn't want to play the sport, but it's a lot of fun to photograph! :-) For more on the USA National Rugby Team, visit www.usarugby.org.
