Brent shot the international rugby sevens title in LA last month and we have posted four galleries of his great pics. Check them out.

When does the calendar come out? gallery 1 is very hot.

Brent's best series so far IMHO.

This pic alone leaves me at a TOTAL loss for words.

That pic is really amazing. What is really going on? Jock strap adjustment???

Actually, there is a sequence of 3 pics of these guys.

As GJ would say, I'm feeling a case of the Vapors overcoming me...quick, get me my faintin' sofa...and those boys.


Whew, is it hot in here?

When I saw something going on across the field, I had to do a double-take: was it just my imagination? I really didn't know what was going on until I was able to look at the pictures later...and now that I have--I STILL don't know what was really going on! wink

It was taking place right out in the open, and went on for about a minute--so it was more than a strap adjustment. The only thing I can think of is a butt muscle massage.

Has anyone else see this go on?? I guess the South Africans are a lot more open about some things!

This is an awesome action photo. Brent will pooh-pooh this, but he is an excellent photog.

Three exceptional individual portraits I like

Rugby in the West Indies!?

The Canada banana

An Act of telekinesis? eek!

Nice job Brent, I'm really jealous you got to go. I was driving past the place back in January after the Cal v. USC game and I saw the sign for it and I just thought to myself, "Damn I wish I would be around so I could goto that."

Shooting rugby is so much fun for so many different reasons.

Nice stuff, Brent! Some of those Kiwis sure are lookers!

I was there with my mate who was refing the games as I photographed the two days. In the days previous, all the refs and I drove to Vegas and a few visited Disneyland and such.

The South African guys look like they are preparing for a lineout throw, where the players hoist one guy up to catch the ball tossed in from the touchline. Pretty routine in rugby, really--you've seen lots of photos of it happening without realising it. But players will also dry their hands on other players jerseys and shorts in wet conditions.

Thanks for giving a practical and realistic explanation for that Tom, even if it does totally ruin our horny fantasies.

Great shots, Brent!

LOVE Union ruggers League players are nice too, but not as HOT as Union (imho)

A totally biased comparison of league and union:

league 1

league 2

league 3

union 1

union 2

union 3

I'll take league any day, if only because they had Ian the longest.

I think Brent should settle this by doing a series on league players next.

Edited to change union 1 to an actual union rugby pic.

There were some hot refs who were very friendly too!

As for the excuse given for massaging another players ass--I can tell you there were no practice lifts involved, and it wasn't wet conditions--and since when do you dry your hands ON another guys ass--not their jersey or shorts??

So where's my invitation to shoot league?? Is their HAND-i-work the same??

Okay that's cool... I'll just mention 2 UNION ruggers

Lets us begin with the one and only...

And

And just 'cause he's by favorite

League doesn't have a Ben Cohen, do they? Nooo, they don't

And speaking of Tom Bowman ... he was among the accusers of John Hopoate, who was banned from Australian rugby for 12 weeks in 2001 for "unsportsmanlike interference".

I had a video of this. It's kind of funny...

Tried finding the Yahoo! group I first saw it, but it looks like the group is no longer online.

This URL photo link shows the lineout lift that starts just as you see the S. Africa players, though Brent says there was no lineout or lineout practice sidelines. (By the way, the image here is classic 15s and Brent's photos are 7s) And the first of sportinlife's union images is Aussie Rules, not union. Bowman is union but no connection that I know with with Hopoate, who was league. The last is union (Jonny injured again and may not make the Lions tour to New Zealand this year).

Thanks for the new pics of Ben Cohen. I am convinced he is the hottest thing God ever blew breath into...man, what a man! I could eat him for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and look out for that midnight snack!

I have to admit I had forgotten about Ben Cohen, but unless he comes screaming out of the closet in a big BBC exclusive, I'm sticking with Ian Roberts as my favorite Big Rugger teddy bear.

I remember the "unsprotsmanlike interference" incident, and thought I or someone else had posted something about it before. I wonder if the "interferee" suffered any permanent damage.

Some rugby players get carried away with groping.

Yeah I

OMG! Can you imagine if Ben were to come out of the closet? That would rock the planet will nothing else, I think.

I think I remember hearing about the "unsprotsmanlike interference" when it happened, but I'm not sure.
