To really see rugby elevated to an art form you need to see the Hands in action, but these stills do go some way to showing the style, elegance, poise, and beauty which every Hand embodies once he takes the pitch.
These photos are of the soon-to-be-victorious Hands - they were taken ten minutes before the end of the Intra-Mural final 2000. I hope to get some more of these on the site soon.
These magnificent photos were taken by James Ibbotson, Aged 21.
