EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the thrilling moment during the England vs Wales rugby match at Rectory Field in Blackheath, England, in 1902. With the score tied at 8-8, the tension in the air was palpable as Wales' fly-half, Billy Bancroft, prepared to take a penalty kick that could potentially win the game for his team. The crowd, a sea of spectators in period attire, watched intently as Bancroft approached the ball. With a focused determination, he struck the ball cleanly, sending it soaring through the air towards the English goalposts. The photograph captures the exact moment the ball sails between the posts, the crowd erupting in cheers and jubilation as Wales secured a 9-8 victory over their rivals.
