The image showcases the sheer power and dominance of New Zealand winger Jonah Lomu as he effortlessly charges through England's fullback Mike Catt. Lomu's imposing figure is captured mid-stride, his eyes focused on the goal ahead. With every muscle engaged, he epitomizes strength and determination. In contrast, Catt appears almost helpless in his attempt to halt Lomu's unstoppable force. This clash between two rugby giants symbolizes the intensity and physicality that defines this beloved sport. The significance of this encounter is further heightened by Catt's presence in the photograph.

Amalvy expertly captures this iconic moment within a square frame, emphasizing its timeless nature while highlighting both players' profiles.
