EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1983 Five Nations Championship, we witness an intense clash between rugby titans Huw Davies of England, Roy Laidlaw of Scotland, and Peter Wheeler also representing England. The image captures a pivotal moment in the game as these formidable athletes fiercely compete for possession of the ball at Twickenham Stadium. Huw Davies exhibits his unwavering determination as he holds back Roy Laidlaw, refusing to let him gain an inch. Their faces reflect the sheer physicality and mental strength required to excel in this demanding sport. Meanwhile, Peter Wheeler stands nearby, ready to lend support to his teammate or seize any opportunity that arises. The atmosphere at Twickenham is palpable; spectators' roars echo through the stadium as they bear witness to this thrilling encounter between two fierce rivals. The date etched on our memories - March 5th, 1983 - forever marks a chapter in rugby history when England faced off against Scotland for the coveted Calcutta Cup. This extraordinary photograph was expertly captured by Colin Elsey from Colorsport Images. It serves not only as a testament to their exceptional photography skills but also immortalizes a defining moment in rugby union's prestigious tournament. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of sporting history frozen in time, we are reminded of the passion and intensity that make rugby such an exhilarating spectacle.
