EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the historic rugby match between England and Argentina in 1978. The intense battle on the field is frozen in time as England's Chris Gifford passes away the ball, flanked by Argentinian players Tomas Petersen and Alejandro Iaschetti at Twickenham Stadium. Referee Clive Norling stands nearby, attentively observing the action. This encounter marked a significant moment in rugby history as it was the first meeting between these two nations. However, there remains some ambiguity regarding its official status since Argentina awarded Test caps to its players while England did not reciprocate. The image captures both the physicality of the sport and the camaraderie shared among competitors. It showcases Gifford's skillful pass amidst fierce opposition from Petersen and Iaschetti, highlighting their determination to defend their team's honor. Colorsport has once again immortalized a pivotal moment in sports history through this powerful photograph. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but be reminded of the passion and intensity that define rugby union matches like these.
