EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of the 1983 British Lions Tour to New Zealand. The image freezes a pivotal moment during the second test match between the All Blacks and the British Lions at Athletic Park in Wellington. The focal point of this electrifying snapshot is Wayne Smith, an iconic figure in New Zealand rugby history. With sheer determination etched on his face, Smith bursts forward with lightning speed as he makes a break for the All Blacks. His agility and skill are evident as he expertly dummies past David Irwin, who appears floundering in his attempt to stop him. The energy emanating from both players is palpable; it's a clash of titans that encapsulates the fierce competition between these two formidable teams. The intensity of their battle is heightened by Colin Elsey's masterful composition and use of monochrome tones, which adds depth and drama to this historic moment. This print serves as a powerful reminder of not only Smith's exceptional talent but also showcases the spirit and passion that defines Rugby Union. It captures a fleeting instant frozen in time when athleticism meets strategy on an international stage. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but feel drawn into its narrative - reliving one unforgettable chapter from an enthralling sporting saga that continues to captivate fans around the world.
