EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport and Colin Elsey, we witness a historic moment in rugby history. The image showcases the intense clash between the Barbarians and the All Blacks during the 1972/1973 New Zealand Tour of Great Britain & France. As the match unfolds at Cardiff Arms Park, we see the Barbarians launching a fierce attack against their formidable opponents. At the center of this action-packed frame stand two legends of the game: Willie John McBride and Ian Kirkpatrick. Their determination and skill are palpable as they lead their team forward with unwavering resolve. To their left is Fergus Slattery, another key player in this monumental encounter. What makes this photograph truly special is that it captures an unprecedented victory for the Barbarians over the mighty All Blacks. This triumph marked a turning point in rugby history and remains one of its greatest matches ever played to date. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time on January 27th, 1973, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at how sport can unite nations through passion, dedication, and sheer brilliance on display.
