As anyone used the Nikon 200-500 for rugby? I currently use the 70-200 which is good to an extent but struggles soon as the players get close to the half way line and I am usually behind the posts. I am thinking of adding this to use on my D7200 (D500 eventually) and I won't be anytime soon picking up a 300mm+ prime. Your thoughts would be much appreciated

What do you mean by struggling? Is 200mm not long enough ,or do you mean something else?
