[Leica] Hong Kong Rugby 7's

This year was the first time for many days when you could have bought a 
ticket on the day, previously the NZ round sold out within 5 minutes...

Hi Luggers,
For the first time since 1994 we were not able to get tickets to the Hong 
Kong Rugby 7's this year. Just not lucky in the draw.

So I watched TV from home all day with English commentary on the I Pad. I 
missed going to the stadium and sitting in my usual place (front Row section 
122) to capture the goal action to the right of the South Stand goal posts.

I went back to my LUG 7's postings and offer you one of my best pictures 
from 2008:

This is a decisive moment - just before the French player gets his face 
ground into the turf with no hands to protect himself as he is clinging to 
the ball. It is a single shot.

Please look large. Sorry I don't have fresh photos for you this year from 
section 122.
