September 30, 2010 Posted by Graham Jenkins on 09/30/2010 Photo of the Year - An alternative shortlist
The International Rugby Board has revealed the six photographs shortlisted for the IRB/Emirates Airline Rugby Photograph of the Year 2010 with a range of rugby scenes depicted, including two from the recent Women's Rugby World Cup in England and a group of young girls in India enjoying the sport for the first time. A statement accompanying the press release declared that, "all six images have the Spirit of Rugby at their core, depicting camaraderie, team work, fellowship, enjoyment and respect" The shortlist - that emerged from a total of 350 entries submitted from 28 countries - was selected by a panel of judges which included Paul Morgan (Editor, Rugby World), renowned sports photographer Dave Rogers (Getty Images), Barry Newcombe (Sports Journalists’ Association) and Joelle Watkins (Corporate Communications Manager, Emirates Airline) with the winner set to be announced in November. Now, we weren't too impressed by the selection and in a few minutes we conjured our alternative shortlist which we think trumps the IRB's selection. Click here to see our choices and be sure to let us know your thoughts plus any other images from our archive, or your own, that you think are deserving of a place.
