Just look at these guys. Look at their eyes. You can see happiness, pain, strenght, fear, courage, in very challenging situations (also for the photographer) with mud, wind, rain, low light. Rugby as life: a field experiment about finding the will to face and enjoy our existence at its maximum level. The serie refers to Rugby Parma Cadetta Team in Italian Series C Championship 2022/2023.
