EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1983 British Lions Tour of New Zealand, we witness a thrilling moment on the rugby field. The image showcases Roger Baird, wearing jersey number 11 for the Lions, as he charges towards the try line with unwavering determination. On his heels is Robbie Deans, representing Canterbury and valiantly attempting to impede Baird's progress. The match took place at Lancaster Park in Christchurch, where both teams displayed their exceptional skills and fierce competitiveness. Notably, it was Deans who proved to be a standout player for Canterbury that day. As a full back, he not only showcased his defensive prowess but also contributed significantly to his team's score by securing an impressive 18 points. Interestingly enough, this encounter between Baird and Deans would not be their last interaction on the rugby stage. Years later, in 2013 during another Lions Tour – this time against Australia – Deans would find himself coaching the Australian national team while facing off against the British Lions once again. This remarkable photograph captures a pivotal moment in rugby history and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these two talented athletes. With its rich historical significance and vibrant depiction of skillful athleticism on display, this Colorsport Images print truly encapsulates the essence of one unforgettable chapter in rugby union history.
