EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the 1974 British Lions tour to South Africa, winger JJ Williams is seen being congratulated by his teammates after scoring a crucial try during the Third Test against South Africa. The image captures the sheer joy and camaraderie shared among the players in that historic moment. JJ Williams, known for his lightning speed and agility on the field, had just scored the first of his two tries in this match at Boet Erasmus Stadium in Port Elizabeth. As he crosses over the try line, his teammates rush towards him with beaming smiles and open arms, ready to celebrate their teammate's achievement. Amongst those celebrating alongside JJ are Phil Bennett, Bobby Windsor, and Gareth Edwards - all legends of Welsh rugby. Their presence not only adds to the significance of this moment but also highlights the unity within this talented British Lions team. This photograph perfectly encapsulates both individual triumph and collective spirit.
