EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph for the Welsh rugby team after their groundbreaking victory against the previously invincible New Zealand team in the 1905 cup final match on December 16th. The image features the proud and jubilant players, including Bert Davis, Winfield Bevan, Willie Llewellyn, Gwyn Nicholls, Rhys Gabe, Teddy Morgan, Dicky Owen, Bush, Joseph, Travers, Pritchard, Williams, Hodges, Harding, and their manager. The date of the photograph is 1905. The Welsh team's victory was a significant achievement, as New Zealand had been undefeated in international rugby matches since 1903. The three-point nil score was a testament to the determination and skill of the Welsh players, who defied the odds and claimed the victory in front of a packed crowd at Cardiff Arms Park. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of rugby in Wales and the team's unwavering spirit. The players' expressions of joy and relief are palpable, and their poses showcase the physicality and intensity of the game. The image has become an iconic representation of Welsh rugby and the team's legendary status in the sport's history.
