This is a French junior team from the late 20s, "Rugby Club de Franchepré", that I like very much...
The young guys from Joeuf, an industrial smalltown near Nancy in the East of France, are proudly posing for the photographer in their muddy jersey on a rainy winter day...
And here is my point: team photographs are often too boring... and far far more interesting when they're shot after the match ;-)
BTW : I've once bookmarked a photo project from down under where the photographer was asking amateur players to pose after the match... same concept... great pictures... I should be able to retrieve it...
