Super 14 Final from the Ground

The high-up view provided by television cameras is often the best vantage point for a sporting event, but watching from the ground can provide a better appreciation for the speed and intensity of plays. The players' size, speed, and physicality is much more apparent. For an example, see this front-row amateur video from yesterday's Super 14 grand final:



While you're at it, have a lot at video of the horse running loose during the chaos after the final (the intensity of which is probably also best appreciated from ground level). Armchair Playmaker mentioned the incident yesterday, and hopes that the Lions, Bulls, Cheetahs, and Sharks in South Africa keep a closer eye on their mascots!
