This print takes us back to the thrilling Wales v Ireland Five Nations Rugby Union international match at the National Stadium in Cardiff. The year was 1971, and the atmosphere was electric as two rugby powerhouses clashed on that fateful day. In this iconic image, we witness a moment of pure jubilation as Welsh legends Barry John and Gareth Edwards are triumphantly chaired from the field by adoring supporters. The significance of this particular match cannot be overstated, as it marked an extraordinary achievement for Wales - a Grand Slam victory. It was a testament to their skill, determination, and unwavering team spirit. As they basked in the glory of their success, John and Edwards became symbols of Welsh rugby excellence. The photograph itself captures not only the elation felt by players and fans alike but also serves as a time capsule transporting us back to the vibrant sporting scene of the 1970s. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia while allowing us to focus on every detail - from the expressions on people's faces to every strand of confetti suspended mid-air.
