EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the 1972/1973 New Zealand Tour of Great Britain & France, we witness a fierce battle between two rugby powerhouses - The All Blacks and the Barbarians. The image captures the intense moment when the All Black forwards engage in a powerful maul against their opponents at Cardiff Arms Park. Amidst the chaos, scrum-half Sid Going stands out as he orchestrates his team's attack from second left. On the opposing side, Derek Quinnell and Willie John McBride hold their ground for the Barbarians, while Bob Wilkinson (#5) is also caught in action. This match holds significant historical importance as it marked an unprecedented victory for the Barbarians over the mighty All Blacks. Regarded as one of rugby's greatest ever games, it showcased not only skill and determination but also sportsmanship and camaraderie that transcends rivalries. The photograph itself perfectly encapsulates both the physicality and grace of rugby union. Colorsport photographer Colin Elsey brilliantly freezes this pivotal moment in time, allowing us to relive this legendary clash between two formidable teams. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of sporting history captured by Colorsport Images on January 27th, 1973, we are reminded of how sport can unite nations and create everlasting memories that withstands generations.
