EDITORS COMMENTS
In this gripping print captured by Colorsport Images, the intensity of a Rugby World Cup match between Wales and Argentina in 1999 is vividly portrayed. The image freezes a moment that encapsulates both the physicality and brutality of the sport. Garin Jenkins, representing Wales with unwavering determination, finds himself at the center of an unfortunate incident. As he engages in a fierce battle against an Argentinian forward, fate takes an unexpected turn. In a shocking act that defies fair play and sportsmanship, Garin becomes a victim of eye gouging. The photograph captures the sheer agony etched on Garin's face as his eye is forcefully poked by his opponent's finger. It serves as a stark reminder of the lengths some players are willing to go to gain advantage on the field – even if it means resorting to unsportsmanlike tactics. This powerful image not only documents an alarming moment within rugby history but also raises important questions about player safety and respect for one another on the pitch. It serves as a testament to both Garin's resilience in enduring such pain and his commitment to representing his country with unwavering courage. Colorsport Images has masterfully preserved this significant event through their expert lens work, allowing us to reflect upon its impact long after it occurred.
