"Mud wrestling" and "Rugby" are synonyms. Sometimes more mud, sometimes less. Same "game"...

Nice captures, Arpe. I suggest that you water the grass if it hasn't rained. The mud definitely adds to the images.

I like the second one withe dry mud. Good times!

Nice one Arpe. In the first shot you really see how much water there is. Good to have a weather sealed camera.

Nice shots of the mud action. dedicated bunch there, better to stand on sidelines and shoot

Yeah, even though I had a bag over the camera and lens (Sigma lens) the camera still gets quite wet on the back, it's great not to have to worry about it.

Scott - it gets pretty cold on the sidelines, those guys are probably warmer than me!

That particular ground is always muddy, so I knew what I was in for.
