In this print from December 1959, we are transported back to the intense world of rugby league in Wigan. The image captures a defining moment in a rough and tough test match between Australia and Great Britain, as J. W. Raper, the formidable Aussie Loose forward, engages in a fierce battle with E. Ashton, representing both Great Britain and Wigan. Both players are seen lunging towards a loose ball that holds the fate of the game within its grasp. Their determination is palpable as they fight tooth and nail for possession on that muddy field. It is an epitome of grit and passion displayed by these warriors of rugby.
