EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photo print, we witness the historic moment when Gareth Edwards, the triumphant scrum-half of the Barbarians rugby team, is carried off the field at Cardiff Arms Park. The year was 1973, and it marked a significant turning point in rugby history as the Barbarians defeated the mighty All Blacks for the first time ever. As Edwards is hoisted high by his jubilant teammates, we can see All Blacks captain Ian Kirkpatrick standing on the far left. His expression reveals a mix of disappointment and respect for their opponents' remarkable achievement. This match would go down in history as one of the greatest ever played in Rugby Union. The intensity and passion captured within this photograph are palpable. It serves as a testament to both teams' unwavering dedication to their sport and showcases how moments like these transcend mere competition. They become part of sporting folklore that inspires generations to come. This powerful image was taken during New Zealand's 1972/1973 tour of Great Britain & France by renowned sports photographer Colin Elsey from Colorsport Images. Its significance lies not only in its visual impact but also in its ability to transport us back to that fateful day when underdogs triumphed against all odds
