EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness a historic moment in rugby history. It is the year 1973, during the New Zealand Tour of Great Britain & France, and John Bevan of the Barbarians is seen fearlessly running with the ball against the mighty All Blacks. The intensity and passion exuded by Bevan are palpable as he charges forward, determined to make his mark on this monumental match. As Bevan surges ahead, he finds himself supported by none other than teammate JPR Williams (#15), who stands ready to lend a helping hand if needed. However, their pursuit is not without opposition. Hot on their heels are two formidable All Blacks players - Bob Burgess (#10) and Joe Karam (#15), desperately trying to halt their progress. This particular encounter at Cardiff Arms Park would go down in history as one of the greatest matches ever played. The Barbarians achieved an extraordinary feat that day - defeating the All Blacks for the first time ever. This victory solidified their place in rugby folklore and forever etched their names into sporting immortality. Thanks to Colin Elsey's expert lensmanship, we can now relive this breathtaking moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable image print from 27th January 1973, it serves as a reminder of courage, teamwork, and sheer determination displayed on that fateful day when legends clashed on the rugby field.
