EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, rugby legend Philippe Sella showcases his immense skill and strength as he executes a thunderous tackle on Danie Gerber during the International Rugby Football Board (IRFB) Centenary match in 1986. The intensity of the moment is palpable as Sella, representing the Five Nations XV, collides with Gerber from the Overseas Unions team. Flanked by Steve Tuynman on his left and John Jeffrey on his right, Sella's determination to halt Gerber's progress is evident. With unwavering focus etched across their faces, these formidable players form an impenetrable wall against their opponent's advances. This historic clash at Twickenham Stadium brought together some of the finest talents from Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa under one banner - the Overseas Unions. As part of the second celebratory game marking IRFB's centenary milestone, this encounter followed a thrilling showdown between Rest of World and British Lions just days earlier in Cardiff. Captured by renowned sports photographer Colin Elsey for Colorsport Images, this iconic image immortalizes a defining moment in rugby history. It serves as a testament to both Sella's defensive prowess and the sheer physicality that makes rugby union such an exhilarating sport to witness.
