EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured during the 1976 Five Nations Championship, rugby legend JPR Williams showcases his incredible athleticism and determination as he executes a famous shoulder-barge tackle on Jean-Francois Gourdon. The intense moment takes place at Cardiff Arms Park, where Wales is desperately defending their lead against France. With the game hanging in the balance, Gourdon finds himself charging towards the corner of the field with victory within reach. However, Williams refuses to yield an inch and launches himself into a last-ditch effort to prevent Gourdon from scoring. The sheer power and precision of Williams' tackle are evident as he collides with his opponent mid-air. The significance of this particular play cannot be overstated. Had Gourdon managed to touch down for a try, France would have secured not only victory but also the coveted Grand Slam title. Yet, through sheer determination and unwavering commitment to defend their turf, Wales manages to hold on for dear life. This extraordinary display of skill and resilience ultimately leads Wales to triumph over France by a narrow margin of six points – securing their seventh Grand Slam in history. This historic moment forever etches itself into rugby folklore as an epitome of grit and teamwork that defines the sport's spirit.
