This print from Memory Lane Prints captures a defining moment in the Five Nations Championship match between England and Wales on January 15th, 1972. The intensity of the game is palpable as England captain Bob Hiller collapses with an injured knee within the opening minute. Despite this setback, Hiller's determination shines through as he receives treatment and returns to the field with his leg strapped. In a display of sheer resilience, Hiller promptly kicks a penalty for England, showcasing his unwavering commitment to his team. This courageous act not only inspires his teammates but also demonstrates the indomitable spirit that rugby union embodies. However, despite Hiller's heroic efforts, Wales ultimately emerges victorious with a final score of 12-3.

Transporting us back to the vibrant atmosphere of 1970s rugby, this image serves as a powerful reminder of how sports can unite nations while simultaneously highlighting individual acts of bravery. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let it serve as inspiration for future generations who strive to overcome adversity and leave their mark on sporting history.
