EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness the pivotal moment in rugby history when John Dawes, the esteemed captain of the Barbarians, makes a break during their historic match against New Zealand in 1973. The intensity and anticipation are palpable as Dawes skillfully maneuvers through the opposition's defense, setting the stage for what would become one of Gareth Edwards' most celebrated tries. Though Gareth Edwards is not pictured in this particular frame, his legendary try at Cardiff Arms Park owes its existence to Dawes' remarkable break. This match marked a significant milestone for both teams involved. The Barbarians emerged victorious over the All Blacks for the very first time, etching their names into rugby folklore forever. Regarded as one of the greatest matches ever played, this encounter between two formidable sides showcased exceptional skill and unwavering determination from start to finish. Colin Elsey's expert lensmanship perfectly captures the essence of this unforgettable moment on that fateful day during Rugby Union's 1972/1973 New Zealand Tour of Great Britain & France. This print serves as a testament to rugby's rich heritage and enduring legacy. It encapsulates not only an extraordinary sporting achievement but also embodies camaraderie and sportsmanship at its finest.
