•  Comment Hieronymus Bosch for the faces, maybe... But as it is the focal point of the image, I'd wish a ball without chromatic aberration (purple fringe). Thank you.--Jebulon (talk) 15:51, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

  Nope, this is the whole thing. Rugby is a packed sport, there often is bits of players missing in pictures. For a little bit more context, I think that this action follows a lineout (thus explaining the number of players). Pleclown (talk) 20:47, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
