EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Wales team that faced Ireland in the 1973 Five Nations Championship. The match took place at Cardiff Arms Park on March 10th, 1973, and this image immortalizes the Welsh squad before they stepped onto the field. Standing tall in their iconic red jerseys, these formidable athletes exude determination and unity. In the back row from left to right, we see a touch-judge alongside Glyn Shaw, Phil Llewellyn (making his debut), Mike Roberts, Mervyn Davies, Delme Thomas, Dai Morris, and another touch-judge. Their stern expressions hint at their unwavering focus as they prepare for battle. In front of them stands a lineup of legendary players who have etched their names into rugby history. JPR Williams and Gerald Davies flank Jeff Young while Arthur Lewis proudly captains this exceptional group. John Taylor and Phil Bennett stand side by side with Jim Shanklin completing the formation. Clive Rowlands watches over them as coach. The ground is graced by two remarkable figures: Roy Bergiers and Gareth Edwards. This photograph perfectly encapsulates a moment frozen in time when these warriors were about to embark on an intense clash against Ireland. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Colorsport Images' collection, we are transported back to that historic day where passion met skill on hallowed grounds - forever capturing the essence of Welsh rugby excellence.
