EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the 1974 British Lions Tour to South Africa, we witness a moment of triumph and jubilation as JJ Williams scores the first of his two tries in the third test match. The intensity and excitement of rugby union is palpable as Williams, with lightning speed and precision, evades the desperate attempts of South African captain Hannes Marais to stop him. Captured at Boet Erasmus Stadium in Port Elizabeth, the photograph not only immortalizes Williams' exceptional athleticism but also showcases the passion and support emanating from both South African fans and local law enforcement officers. Their cheers reverberate through the stadium, creating an electrifying atmosphere that resonates beyond its walls. The image encapsulates a significant chapter in rugby history when tensions ran high during this fiercely contested tour. It serves as a testament to Williams' skill and determination while symbolizing unity among spectators who set aside their differences to appreciate extraordinary sporting prowess. Colorsport photographer Colin Elsey masterfully freezes this fleeting moment for eternity, allowing us to relive an era where sport transcended boundaries. This print stands as a reminder that even amidst fierce competition, there is room for celebration, camaraderie, and shared joy on both sides of the pitch.
