Yesterday I travelled down to Manchester to shoot my first Aviva Premiership rugby match when Sale Sharks were at home to championship leaders Wasps at the invitation of photographer Tim Williams.  

The reason for my visit was to shoot some images for an upcoming feature for Fujifilm UK but it was also an opportunity to compare premiership level rugby with the three Scotland internationals I have shot at Murrayfield.

I have had to keep back the images I have selected for the rugby feature but here are a few images from the game that Sale won 34-28 in a gruelling game of rugby.

Next Saturday I will be back at Murrayfield photographing the third round match of the RBS Six Nations - Scotland v Wales.

UPDATE: Images from this game have been used in the first part of a series of sports features on the Fujifilm blog HERE
