EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ireland team that faced France in the 1987 Five Nations Championship, captured in this iconic photo print, showcases the determination and camaraderie of these rugby legends. The match took place on March 21st at Lansdowne Road, Dublin, where both teams battled fiercely for victory. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see the Irish team standing tall before kick-off. Their faces reflect a mix of focus and anticipation as they prepare to face their formidable opponents. Led by captain Donal Lenihan, who exudes confidence and leadership, the team radiates a sense of unity. The back row features key players such as Des Fitzgerald and Willie Anderson, known for their strength and skill on the field. Alongside them are Philip Matthews and Brian Spillane, whose determination is evident in their expressions. The presence of esteemed referee Clive Norling adds an air of authority to the scene. At the forefront stands Sir Ewart Bell, President of IRFU (Irish Rugby Football Union), symbolizing pride and support for his team. Flanked by Michael Bradley and Brendan Mullin on either side - renowned figures in Irish rugby history - Bell's presence further amplifies the significance of this momentous occasion. This photograph captures not only a significant chapter in Irish rugby history but also serves as a testament to teamwork, dedication, and passion for the sport.
