[QUOTE="kevy73, post: 507495, member: 23493"] If it were me and I had your choice of lens, I would go with the 70-200 f2.8 every time. But that is just me, it is what I am used to. But in reality, you want a lens that is wide enough or you have enough room to move further back so you can get them all in - simple as that. You will be shooting f5.6 or higher to ensure they are all in focus, so really, any of your lens will suffice. Go with what you are more comfortable with and what you think is your sharpest lens. You will have to think about posing - ie, will they be on stands so you can have a front row, middle row back row etc or will you be shooting them on the field - if so, you will need to get height. Take a ladder or something similar. Being an ex rugby player also - try and keep the players in their positions and roles... ie front rowers together, flankers on their outsides, locks either side again etc... that way as well you should have relatively similar sized bodies all together plus some symmetry which normally I would hate, but for this it could work. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
