Not the normal thing people would associate with the word delicate but they are delicate off the pitch.
This was the first Match I have attended to photograph hop you like it.

Every time I see this photo, I laugh. Not because of the actual photo itself, but because of the title. To see a rough and tough sport such as rugby and these huge dirty guys tackling each other--I think that they're anything but delicate! If it were for humor alone, I would score this a perfect 10!!! Thanks for keeping a sense of humor.

Good action shot. I don't really know if I'd consider it to be all that delicate though. Looks kind of rough to me. :)

Sarcasm? Irony? Not a delicate game.
