EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from The Northcliffe Collection, the tension of the Rugby International match between Wales and England in 1961 is palpable. The scene captures a pivotal moment in the Five Nations Championship, with Wales leading 6-3 and England pressing hard for a comeback. The image is filled with the raw emotion and intensity of the game, as players from both teams engage in a fierce struggle for dominance on the field. At the heart of the drama, second from the left on the Wales bench, sits an injured Cyril Davies. His expression is one of determination and resolve, despite his obvious pain. Davies, a key player for Wales, had been forced to leave the field earlier in the game due to injury. His teammates, wearing their red and white jerseys, huddle around him, offering words of encouragement and support. The crowd, a sea of spectators dressed in their finest attire, roars with excitement as the action unfolds on the pitch. The atmosphere is electric, with the anticipation of a potential Welsh victory hanging in the balance. The sun casts long shadows across the field, adding to the sense of history being made in this iconic moment. This photograph is a testament to the passion and dedication of the players and fans alike, as they come together to celebrate the rich heritage of rugby union. The image is a reminder of the enduring appeal of this sport, and the unforgettable moments that continue to shape its legacy.
