EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1977 British Lions Tour to New Zealand, we witness a fierce battle between the mud-covered British Lions forwards and the Junior All Blacks. The intensity of this Rugby Union clash is palpable as both teams give their all on the muddy grounds of Athletic Park in Wellington. The image focuses on two prominent figures amidst the chaos - Phil Orr and Fran Cotton, stalwart members of the British Lions forward pack. Their faces are etched with determination and grit as they confront their opponents head-on. Covered in layers of thick mud, these warriors epitomize resilience and unwavering commitment to their team's cause. As spectators, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time to that historic moment when these mighty athletes clashed for supremacy on New Zealand soil. The atmosphere is electric, charged with anticipation and adrenaline. This photograph serves as a testament to the physicality and sheer strength required to excel in Rugby Union at such an elite level.
