VIDEO: This is what it's like to be a photographer at the Rugby World Cup

Brendan Moran takes us through his job as a Sportfile photographer at this years Rugby World Cup and how he does his job under immense pressure.

2015 is Brendan’s fifth world cup to date and he will be covering everything from the Irish games to a few others throughout the duration of the tournament.

"Generally at training sessions you only get 15 minutes so you have got to work quick", he says.

"Pick off the guys that are in the news or the lads who will be talking to the media."

"It takes the pressure off the photographers and they can concentrate on the game."
