EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph from the Northcliffe Collection, we witness a pivotal moment in the 1930 Rugby International Match between Wales and England, held at Cardiff Arms Park. The Five Nations Championship was in full swing, and the tension between the two rivals was palpable. England's Roger Spong, wearing the red and white jersey, is seen in the midst of being tackled by a determined Welsh defender as he attempts to pass the ball to his teammate, Jim Reeve. Spong's expression shows a mixture of surprise and determination, as he tries to hold on to the ball despite the force of the tackle. Meanwhile, Reeve, wearing the distinctive red dragon jersey of Wales, is poised to receive the pass and continue the attack. His focus is unwavering, and the determination in his eyes is evident. The crowd, visible in the background, is on the edge of their seats, cheering and chanting for their team. This photograph captures the raw emotion and intensity of the Rugby International Match between Wales and England, a rivalry that has spanned decades. The Northcliffe Collection, which houses this image, is a treasure trove of sports history, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich heritage of rugby. The Five Nations Championship, now known as the Six Nations Championship, has continued to be a highlight of the rugby calendar, with each match bringing its own unique moments and memories. This photograph serves as a reminder of the passion and dedication that has fueled the sport for generations and continues to do so today.
