The image showcases the intense rivalry between two iconic cities, London and Paris, during the 1970/1971 Inter-City Match held at Richmond Athletic Ground. The focal point of the photograph is Nigel Starmer-Smith, a formidable player for London, as he skillfully breaks through Paris' defensive line. With sheer determination etched on his face, Starmer-Smith embodies the spirit of rugby - strength, agility, and unwavering teamwork. His teammate Ken Kennedy can be seen closely supporting him in this pivotal moment. The backdrop of Richmond Athletic Ground adds an authentic touch to this snapshot in time.
