EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous clash during the 1983 British Lions Tour of New Zealand. In this intense Rugby Union match between Canterbury and the British Lions, David Irwin (#13) fearlessly charges forward with the ball, flanked by his teammates Roger Baird (#11) and John Carleton (#14). The formidable Robbie Deans from Canterbury valiantly covers across to defend against the oncoming onslaught at Lancaster Park in Christchurch. Deans' exceptional skills as a full back shine through as he not only defends but also becomes Canterburys' leading scorer, contributing an impressive 18 points to their tally. Little did anyone know that years later, Deans would go on to coach Australia during the highly anticipated 2013 Lions Tour. The atmosphere is palpable in this snapshot frozen in time. The determination etched on each player's face reflects their unwavering commitment to their respective teams. Colorsport has expertly captured this iconic moment from one of rugby's most historic tours. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of the rich history and fierce competition that defines rugby union. It encapsulates both the physicality and skill required to excel in such a demanding sport while paying homage to two legends of the game – David Irwin and Robbie Deans – who left an indelible mark on rugby history.
