Such grace from rugby players—almost like a ballet.

Circa 1967

Sometimes a photograph transcends its original purpose, taking on a life of its own.

This image, while comical, captures rugby, a sport known for its roughness, in an unexpectedly graceful light. The strapping men reaching for the ball seem almost as if they’re part of a ballet, their movements poised and elegant.

Perhaps it's just my interpretation, but there’s something distinctly artistic about the way they’re caught in the moment.
