Behind the Boks

I was lucky to attend the game between the Scottish and  South African rugby teams in Newcastle in, part of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.  What better setting to take pictures of a very colourful crowd?  The Springbok supporters were out in full force.  Hats and make-up are a wonderful way to camouflage faces, aren’t they?
