Which lens is used for these pics ?

The first set was taken with a 200-400mm F4.0

Second set with a 400mm F2.8.

Both photographers shoot with a Nikon D4.

CHEETAHS 22 vs SHARKS 29

Well done Sharks.

And well done Cheetahs for your first of many many many losing bonus points this year

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Stupid Cheetahs, ruining my pick.

Meh, I like the Sharks, so glad they won.

Rhule looks like an exciting prospect!

 

[Bosvark@]

Go sharkies go!

 

[w1z4rd]

Currently, Kings 16 Force 10.... they might come in with a good win.

 

[w1z4rd]

22-10 kings.... 10 min left.

 

[APoc184]

Can you believe it...?

Well done Kings...

At least my team won't be the first to lose to the Kings then

 

[CAPS LOCK]

Great win Kings. You did more, in you first Super-Rugby game, than Lions achieved in an entire season.

And my team Sharks - well done

[Bosvark@]

Great game kings! All that action form a 18 year old... Naas also liked the game! Now I hope they beat the bulls!!

I must say they deserved to win...so well done.

And what did the Lions (Transvaal) do in their first year in Super Rugby ? Just asking

 

[Die_Miek]

How many games did lions win last year?

 

[GreGorGy]

Nice leader board....

 

[DJ...]

Geez, The Kings were surprisingly good. The Lions wouldn't have won that game...

The Kings really deserved that win. The Force need to re-evaluate their tactics because they're playing a rather crap game at the moment...

I actually believe that the Lions could have taken this game. When I voted The Kings to take The Force down in SuperBru, I knew it would most likely be up to kicking. When Catrakillis missed his first conversation I nearly gave up hope since this is a new pressure being introduced to him. I must say when the captain got replaced due to injury, the game changed for the best, and amazing play by Jacques Engelbrecht.

A lot of the lower ranked teams in the Super Rugby got their game up, I sincerely think that Blues and Brumbies might show some enormous improvement and might be able to take the cup. I just hope that The Kings can take on the South African teams, even though I think that the Cheetahs will be their toughest game physically since they never like to give up the home ground or being challenged by newer entries.

Obviously the spy did a good job.

That story was poo-poo'd by the locals who claim the logistics involved were not possible.

Obviously he was just stalking...
