EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness the sheer brilliance of John Dawes and Mike Gibson as they take on the mighty All Blacks during the 1972/1973 New Zealand Tour of Great Britain & France. The match, held at Cardiff Arms Park, showcases Dawes passing the ball out to his teammate Gibson in a display of exceptional teamwork and skill. This particular encounter between the Barbarians and the All Blacks holds a special place in rugby history. Not only did it mark the first-ever victory for the Barbarians against their formidable opponents, but it is also regarded as one of the greatest matches ever played. The intensity and passion displayed by both teams were truly awe-inspiring. The image itself captures a moment frozen in time - an embodiment of determination, camaraderie, and unwavering spirit. As Dawes releases that perfectly timed pass to Gibson behind him, one can almost feel the electricity coursing through their veins. It serves as a testament to their dedication to their craft and love for this beautiful game. Colorsport photographer Colin Elsey has masterfully immortalized this historic event with his lens. Through his artistry, he allows us to relive this extraordinary moment over four decades later. This print not only celebrates two remarkable athletes but also pays homage to an unforgettable chapter in rugby union history that will forever be etched into our collective memory.
