The image showcases legendary All Black captain Colin Meads leading his team's forward charge with unwavering determination. As a symbol of strength and leadership, Meads stands at the forefront of his teammates, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead. His steely gaze reflects both focus and passion as he rallies his men on that fateful day in Carisbrook, Dunedin. The atmosphere is palpable as these two rugby powerhouses clash head-on. It is evident from their body language that every player on both sides has left nothing behind; they give their all for victory. The intensity of this historic encounter can be felt through Peter Bush's lens, capturing not just a mere game but a moment etched into rugby folklore. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of rugby union and its ability to unite nations through fierce competition.
