Adrian Dennis’s winning photograph, titled Tryline Tackle, features Racing 92’s Fijian wing Vinaya Habosi getting across to the corner of the pitch to stop Cokanasiga scoring and now forms part of a year-long rugby photography exhibition at the World Rugby Museum, Allianz Stadium, Twickenham.

The powerful image was chosen by a panel of expert judges from a 1,000-strong entry list worldwide for the fourth Rugby Photographer of the Year award. It was announced at the exhibition’s opening at the World Rugby Museum, Allianz Stadium on Thursday 30th January, with Cokanasiga even sending a video message to celebrate.

In addition to the overall awards, winners were declared in the categories of action, landscape, portrait, spirit and portfolio. A full list of winners can be found here.

Sheltering from the heat in style at Ampthill – David Howlett’s beautiful image has won the Rugby Photograph of the Year 2024 landscape award.

“This year’s entry list was without doubt our strongest yet,” explains Alex Mead, Editor-in-Chief of Rugby Journal, the competition’s organisers.

“Yet again there was a hugely global presence, with images traversing the globe to all four corners of our rugby planet, so the winners did exceptionally well to just make the shortlist, let alone win their category or receive a bronze or silver commendation.”

World Rugby Museum’s Phil McGowan said of the entries: “The standard is hugely impressive and the sheer diversity across the shortlist in every sense makes for a rich exhibition that paints a picture of rugby across the world at every level.”
