EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph, the triumphant spirit of the 1974 British Lions tour to South Africa is beautifully captured. Willie John McBride, Ian McGeechan, and Mervyn Davies stand side by side, their faces beaming with joy and pride as they celebrate their victory in the third test match at Boet Erasmus Stadium. As captain of the British Lions team, McBride extends his hand towards McGeechan in a gesture of congratulations. The camaraderie between these two rugby legends is evident as they share this momentous achievement together. Davies stands on the other side, wearing an expression of pure elation that mirrors that of his teammates. The significance of this win cannot be overstated - it secured not only a victory in the third test but also clinched the series for the British Lions. Their hard work and dedication throughout the tour had paid off in spectacular fashion. Colorsport photographer Colin Elsey has expertly captured this historic moment, freezing it forever within a single frame. This print serves as a reminder of not just one game or one tour but represents an entire era in rugby union history. It is through images like these that we can relive and appreciate the achievements and triumphs of our sporting heroes.
