EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the intense clash between two rugby powerhouses - The All Blacks and The Springboks in 1976. As the Rugby Union's New Zealand Tour of South Africa reaches its second test match, tensions run high as both teams gear up for a crucial line-out at Bloemfontein. The image perfectly encapsulates the raw energy and determination emanating from the players on either side. Standing front left is New Zealand's formidable Brad Johnstone, his steely gaze reflecting his unwavering commitment to victory. Surrounding him are his fellow forwards, their muscular physiques poised for action. The contrasting colors of the jerseys - black for The All Blacks and green and gold for The Springboks - add an extra layer of intensity to this iconic moment frozen in time. It symbolizes not only a fierce battle on the field but also represents a historic rivalry between these two nations. As spectators, we can almost feel the palpable excitement radiating from the crowd as they witness this epic showdown unfold before their eyes. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of rugby union and reminds us of its ability to unite nations through shared passion and unyielding sportsmanship. Colorsport photographer Peter Bush has masterfully captured not just an ordinary sporting event but an extraordinary chapter in rugby history that continues to resonate with fans around the world today.
