EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Wales team that faced England in the thrilling 1973 Five Nations Championship. The atmosphere is palpable as the players gather together before the game at Cardiff Arms Park on January 20th, 1973. In a moment frozen in time, we see the determination etched on their faces as they prepare to battle it out on the rugby field. Standing tall at the back are referee G. Domercq from France and touch-judge R. Lewis from Wales, ensuring fair play throughout the match. The formidable Welsh lineup includes legends of the sport such as Glyn Shaw, Derek Quinnell, Mervyn Davies, Jeff Young, Delme Thomas, Roy Bergiers, John Lloyd, David Morris - all ready to give their all for their country's honor. At the front row stands a group of rugby giants who have become synonymous with Welsh rugby greatness: Phil Bennett, Gareth Edwards (widely regarded as one of rugby's greatest ever scrum-halves), Gerald Davies (known for his electrifying speed), Arthur Lewis (a stalwart defender), John Taylor (a powerful presence on and off-field), John Bevan (an exceptional try-scorer) and JPR Williams (the epitome of resilience). This remarkable photograph by Colorsport / Colin Elsey not only immortalizes these sporting heroes but also serves as a testament to an unforgettable era in Welsh rugby history.
