EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness a historic moment in rugby history as England takes on the mighty All Blacks in 1973. The intensity of the match is palpable at Eden Park, Auckland, where two powerhouses collide. New Zealand's Sid Going finds himself under immense pressure from England's Andy Ripley and John Pullin as he attempts to release the ball to his teammate Ian Kirkpatrick. With determination etched on their faces, Ripley and Pullin close in with unwavering focus, ready to disrupt any chance of an All Blacks attack. This encounter marked a significant turning point for English rugby. It was not only their first victory against New Zealand since 1936 but also the first time they triumphed over the formidable All Blacks on New Zealand soil. A monumental achievement that would forever be etched into rugby folklore. Colorsport has masterfully preserved this moment through their exceptional photography skills. Their ability to capture both the physicality and emotion of such a pivotal game allows us to relive this historic event decades later. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of the sheer determination and resilience displayed by these athletes who left an indelible mark on rugby history.
