Toulon vs Edinburgh - Winter 2019

Edinburgh won.
This was the first rugby match that I ever went to, and it made me a convert.
These pictures were all made with a Canon 70D with the 18-135mm kit lens.

Converting the try.

Out of the scrum.

On top of things.

Give it back! Now!

Don't let me down, lads!

Victory!

The Gilet Jaune protests were going on in Toulon at that time. Occasionally during the match, we'd get a little cloud of CS gas wafting over the top of the stands.
