EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a historic moment in rugby history - the 1992 New Zealand Tour of South Africa. The image captures the South Africa team group standing tall and proud before their game at Ellis Park, Johannesburg on August 15th, 1992. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see an array of legendary players who have etched their names into rugby folklore. Among them are Theo van Rensburg, James Small, Danie Gerber, Pieter Muller, Pieter Hendriks, and Ns Botha as captain. Each player exudes determination and unity as they prepare to face off against the formidable All Blacks. This match held immense significance as it marked the first encounter between these two fierce rivals on South African soil since the controversial tour of 1976. The tension surrounding this long-awaited clash was palpable; emotions ran high not only for the players but also for fans worldwide. The composition of this photograph is strikingly powerful - each player's gaze fixed firmly ahead with unwavering focus. Their collective presence symbolizes resilience and represents a nation united through sport during a pivotal period in South African history. Preserved by Colorsport Images and captured by Colin Elsey, this print serves as a timeless reminder of an era-defining sporting event that transcended boundaries both on and off the field.
