Western Rugby team beat McMaster in grand style

I was invited by a good friend of mine to tag alone and shoot a Mustangs rugby match against McMaster university. Thought this was a great chance to test the burst rate of my new Canon 70D and agreed to do the shoot. The weather was completely against us from the day before.. it was raining like crazy and our chances were looking very bleak. But then just hours before the game, the rain let up. But the sky was completely overcast. Therefore, going into the shoot, we both new that our shots are gonna suffer in details and that we would have to shoot with a relatively higher ISO to keep everything from blurring. The Canon 70D (unlike my 600D/T3i) shone in this situation with almost no noise at high ISO values (I used ISO 800 for the whole shoot). At the end, Western beat McMaster very comfortably and I grew a liking to this game after seeing the intensity through the lens. Here are some results (Picture heavy, I must warn you on that). Btw, I almost forgot to mention that the Canon 70D is an awesome camera to shoot with.
