EDITORS COMMENTS
An intense clash between Vigier and two rival teams unfolds in Cardiff, 1958. The print captures the raw energy and determination on the players' faces as they engage in a fierce battle for victory. Full-back Terry Davies showcases his exceptional skills by kicking an impressive 50-yard penalty goal, while wing John Collins adds to the excitement with a remarkable try. However, it was France who emerged triumphant on this historic day at Cardiff Arms Park. After fifty long years of trying, France finally claimed their first-ever win at this iconic venue. Tries by Pierre Danos and Pierre Tarricq, expertly converted by fly-half Labazuy, proved decisive in sealing Wales' fate. Notably, outstanding full-back Michel Vannier further solidified France's dominance with two perfectly executed dropped goals. This image from the 1950s encapsulates the essence of challenge and competition that defines rugby. The intensity of each tackle and tussle is palpable as both teams leave everything on the field in pursuit of glory. Memory Lane Prints presents this extraordinary snapshot from sporting history; a testament to perseverance and triumph against all odds.
