Re: Rugby photos

Taking a look at your first shot, where the guy with the ball is in focus & the rest out of focus, plus you have some slight blurring from the shutter speed, I would say you were at the optimum settings. Eg. You couldn't get more depth of field of focus without using a slower shutter speed & thus no sharp shots.

The only way you could have improved the situation would have been to up the ISO & accept the potential grain / noise in the shots. Try practicing with the dogs again at ISO200 & then again at say ISO1600. You will find with the latter you can either use a faster shutter speed to freeze the moment, or a higher f/stop aperture to get greater depth field.
