EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of New Zealand's rich rugby history. Standing proudly at the entrance to Auckland's iconic Eden Park stadium, a magnificent sculpture of Michael Jones pays homage to his remarkable achievement in the inaugural Rugby World Cup. In 1987, Jones etched his name into sporting folklore as he scored the first try for the All Blacks in their opening game of the tournament. Crafted from bronze, this lifelike statue immortalizes Jones' contribution to New Zealand's rugby legacy. With an intense gaze and a powerful stance, it symbolizes not only his individual brilliance but also represents the indomitable spirit of Kiwi rugby. Eden Park itself holds great significance in New Zealand's sporting heritage. As the country's largest stadium and host venue for that historic first Rugby World Cup, it has witnessed countless moments of triumph and heartbreak throughout its storied existence. Photographer Greg Wood expertly captures this fusion of artistry and athleticism through his lens. The image exudes a sense of reverence towards both Michael Jones' incredible feat and Eden Park's revered status within New Zealand sports culture. As we admire this photograph print, let us be reminded not only of one man's extraordinary accomplishment but also celebrate how sport can unite nations and inspire generations.
